# Moving to production

When reaching the end of the testing phase there could be a desire to copy the whole setup from your test environment to the production environment. When doing this there are a few things to keep in mind.

### Copy of the repository database

The repository database is the heart of MailScheduler and contains all the setup you did in the management console.&#x20;

* The repository database on your test environment needs to be cloned manually.
* You need to do a fresh installation on the new production server.&#x20;
  * Connect to the cloned database on step 3 of the installation to use that as the repository database
