Another Newbie, but Oldbie

Hey, oldpocket -- welcome!

Definitely don't feel old. Things in this industry move so fast that I think all of us feel left out/behind/confused each and every day. We'll get through together, though: that's why we're here.

So... it sounds to me, at first blush, that rather than using the "Backup - all files" copy script, you used "Safety Clone - shared users and applications". In that case, the applications would indeed be shared between the original and the copy: so, when you launch the files on the copy the original will start.

Did you follow the directions in the Appendix of the SD! manual? Those are pretty good for what you're trying to do... let me know a bit more of what's happening here, and we'll get it straightened out.
