You can achieve the following using the System Clone tool:

  • Clone a ServiceNow instance to a target instance.
  • Clone a ServiceNow instance to a target instance running a different version.
  • Clone a ServiceNow instance from a backup.
  • Clone a ServiceNow instance over a production instance.
