The improvements will be to add new Service Catalogue templates and also Categories, Groups etc, and disable the existing templates categories, groups. I.E not removing them completely only disabling so that old tickets will still be in their original status regarding groups etc.

Then over a weekend i would like to populate the application copy newly updated with all the tickets in the old system, without copying the application changes made.

Is this possible using a different restore script?  Can this be created?
