How to setup a test/development environment

[Jonatan Cloutier]

Hi,

Thanks for your answers. At least I know that it's possible to do it 
without having a complete independent install (probably in a vm).

If you can find the info to do the side by side installation, it would 
be really helpful. And yes, I'll be sure to keep my backup working.

Regards,

Jonatan Cloutier
