In real life we use many test systems to bring a software to production. When it is on production - there is one rule: never touch a running/production system! So just get a test system and do the testing there. Install and change on production only what you understand and really need. Keep a clean image(backup) for the test system is also a good idea, so that you do not have to install from scratch regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
