A system copy can be created either with SAP transactions (R3trans, from R4.6C SAPinst) or at file and database level.

Inconsistent or incorrect data is a common problem after a system refresh. These can be caused by incorrectly synchronized tables, missing configuration adjustments or incomplete data imports. It is therefore important that the transferred data is carefully analyzed after the refresh.
