Description

The installutil copyuserdb subcommand makes a copy of a user database. This command locks the original database for the duration of the copy operation. Once complete, the original database is unlocked.

The installutil copyuserdb subcommand is similar to the installutil convertuserdb subcommand. One difference is that the installutil convertuserdb subcommand keeps the original database locked after the copy operation is complete. Also, the installutil convertuserdb subcommand updates the new database with the correct location information. In contrast, the installutil copyuserdb subcommand duplicates the original database, retaining the original location information.
