Create a sandbox -- nothing forgotten?

Hello,

as I want to do some coding in my roundup tracker I want to avoid
crashing the productive system. Thus I thought of setting up a sandbox
(a copy of the productive system) and keeping track of the changes
there. If all goes right I can apply the changes from the sandbox to the
productive system.

I just want to avoid crashing my productive system in the meantime while
hacking in the sandbox.

My setup is a direct piping of incoming mails using /etc/aliases and the
backend is mysql storage.
I thought of exporting the mysql database as backup and replacing the
name of the database with a new one. Then I reimport the modified sql
commands to generate a copy of the database with different name. I copy
the tracker folder and in the config.ini I alter the rdbms->name to the
sandbox database name.
This should be it. I might add an alias to the mail server but this
depends on the further setup.

I just want to know if I forgot anything of if in the database there is
any data that must be changed in order to avoid damage to the production
system.

Thanks a lot
Christian Wolf
