## What gets copied?

What this function copies:
17+
- User files, symlinks and their permissions.
18+
- Database.
19+

What this function does not do:
21+
- Update credentials in `.env` files.
22+
- Update the **base URL** for your application.
23+
- Update **absolute paths** in your code or crons.
24+
25+
Some manual small adjustments are still needed after cloning the account, such as updating the **database credentials** in the application's `.env` file and the **base URL** for your application.
26+
27+
In case your application uses Redis, you'll need to update the Redis database number and/or key prefix, so the new keys are not saved in the keyspace of the original application.
28+
29+
If something does not work correctly, we recommend checking your application's error logs for clues.
