Plesk allows you to copy databases from one database server registered in Plesk to another, as well as to any remote server, provided that the source and the destination servers are of the same type, for example, MySQL/MariaDB. You can copy a database by running **Websites & Domains** \> **Databases** \> **Copy** for this database and specifying the destination server, the subscription and the database name. For a remote server, you should select **Other** in the **Database destination server** list and provide the following additional information: - *Host name* or *IP address* of the remote database server. - *Username* and *password* of the remote database server’s administrator. For example, the MySQL/MariaDB administrator’s credentials.

Note When you choose an existing database as a destination, those tables in the destination database whose names also appear in the source database will be fully replaced.

## Types of Copy When you copy a database, you can choose whether to create a full database copy including data in the tables (the **Create a full copy** option), or to copy only the database structure. In the latter case, Plesk will create tables without data in the destination database.
