Do you want two copies of the contents deployed on myserver?

If this is just a one off you would just move the contents and update the FSRs "target" to point to the new destination.

I you want two copies of your content on myserver you have a choice, you could have two separate FSRs or a single FSR with two "targets", one for "foo" and one for "bar."

Then on the Alfresco Explorer interface you would go into the web project definitions and define your two destinations one for each target.

When you submit to staging alfresco will snapshot the staging sandbox. Then you can deploy any snapshot to either or both of the destinations, you don't need to do a change to your staging sandbox to run deployment. You can deploy as many times as you want, if there's no work to do then nothing is done.

Ahhh…yeah, you're right.

My problem was that when I exposed the Staging area's "Recent Snapshots" list, the filter was for "Today". When I set it to "All", I see the last snapshot I created and could deploy it to the FSR again.

Thanks!
