When a customer needs to create a full copy replica of a database for performance testing, the best technology to use is a clone. A clone creates an exact, independent copy of a volume, which can be used separately from the original. This is particularly useful for scenarios such as testing, development, or backup, where an exact copy of the data is required without affecting the production environment.
