Hi Veera,

If you need exact clone of your existing SAP system, you may take Windows backup including registry and all the drives ( keeping application and database offline).

You may use native Windows tool or 3rd party tool to take this backup. Restore this image on target system to have same replica on the target.

Hope this helps.

Hi Reddy

You have to follow steps and refer the SAP Homogeneous System copy guide

1. In your exiting system by using the SWPM you can do the source system export

2. Backup the Database in exiting system

3. In the new system Install the Windows 2008 R2 OS / DB MS Sql 2008 R2 with latest service pack & security update from Microsoft sites

4. Restore the database backup from exiting to new system.

5. Start the SWPM in target system to start import
