Welcome to the next generation MIKE+ Documentation

Cloning the MIKE+ Database

This functionality creates a new database of the specified type and populates it with the data contained in the selected source database.

For the difference with "Project|Save as", this operation does not create a new MIKE+ project file (*.mupp), but only a database. Cloning also skips damaged tables, which can be useful to repair a damaged database.

Cloning is also useful as data backup and/or when migrating between different database formats (SQLite -> PostGIS or PostGIS-> SQLite).

To clone a MIKE+ database:

  • Choose File\Database\Clone database...
