  • Article

 

Applies To: Dynamics CRM 2013

The Website Copy tool (Websitecopy.exe), which is provided with the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK, creates an exact copy of an existing Microsoft Dynamics CRM website, including all webpages, files, site markers, page templates, settings, and so on. Note that you must first import the base portal CRM customizations into the destination CRM system before you run this application. This tool can be found in the SDK in the SDK\Tools\WebSiteCopy folder. Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package.

The Website Copy tool can be used to copy an existing website from Microsoft Dynamics CRM to a newly created website, or it can export the website to an XML file. You can then use the tool to upload the XML file into CRM.

Running the tool opens a wizard that walks you through the steps to copy or back up a website in CRM. Alternatively, you can use the command line to run the tool. For a complete list of the command-line parameters for Websitecopy.exe, run “websitecopy.exe /?”.
