Hi
I've got a prod environment, which I'd like to spin off into two sandbox environments.
Is there a quick and easy way to copy everything including apps to the new environment?
Thanks

You can backup your production environment and restore it into a sandbox environment.

I believe the backup includes only apps that are Dataverse based. Therefore, you may need to add your existing apps to a solution and to import the solution into your sandbox environment.
Thanks, @timl
I want to keep the prod environment as it is - would this way ensure that the prod environment remains?
Yes, a restoration into a sandbox environment will not affect the production environment.
@timl Thanks for your help.
It turns out the system to backup is the Default not a production environment, is it possible to back this up? I do not get dropdown anywhere like I do with other production environments
