    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. However, your request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and we have no plans to address your request in the near future. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    - Cloning an environment is not really an option taking into account how IBM AD is currently working and configured (IP/Hostnames, Local / Shared Paths). Cloning over the network a machine with the same name or IP, this might be a problem at network level and if the name/ip of the machines changes, then IBM AD might not work properly.

    - For a disaster recovery procedure, the VM machines where AD Components and Database Server(s) are running must have a daily backup and if something goes wrong, to immediately be able to restore them.

    - 2 different environments are highly recommended: a TEST one that can be used for the new versions of IBM AD (running some UAT scenarios for example) and a PRODUCTION one , used for daily activities.
