How to clone a Cloud server with or without data
Cloning a Cloud service can be useful for having a server with the same characteristics / data as one created previously.
❕ In case of having a Cloud with SWPanel, the cloning of it must be without data.
There are two ways to clone a Cloud server. Cloning with data maintains all data, configurations, applications, etc... of the source server. However, a clone without data consists only of a deployed machine with exactly the same operating system and the same characteristics, but without any of its content.
