 * Hello,
 * I assume that when Duplicator copies files and databases it leaves the originals
   unaffected? Thanks.

 * Hey [@engine44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/engine44/),
 * That is correct it simply copies the files and database tables you want to an
   archive file.
 * Hope that helps~
