Copy entire store with customers/products?

I want an exact copy of my store. How would you retain your products and the downloads attached? Is its possible if you back up your database and than rename it? I'd like to have a members only store and a non-members store. Is it possible? Can Zencart be uploaded to a subdomain?

THanks for any help!!

A complete copy of your database, as well as your site files should be fine.

Yes, you can use Zen Cart in a subdomain.

This article talks about how to "switch to a new server". The concept is the same for setting up in a subdomain... just use the same server but put everything in the desired subdomain folder. Be sure to create a new database to store the new copy.

Thank you!! That's a huge relief!!! I'm going to talk to my server today about getting it set up on a sub domain. Thank you for the speedy reply!! :)
