Hi Jochen,
Yes, this is possible. You shouldn't need to reinstall tools. Everything that Galaxy modifies is in (by default) three places on the filesystem (in addition to the database):
1. GALAXY_ROOT/database/ - especially GALAXY_ROOT/files/ (datasets) and GALAXY_ROOT/dependencies/ (tool dependencies) 2. Configs in GALAXY_ROOT/config/ - the ones modified by Galaxy itself are mostly the shed_*.xml files 3. GALAXY_ROOT/../shed_tools/
Typically the easiest thing to do is to move the old GALAXY_ROOT out of the way and copy your configs to the new config/ directory, and move database/files and database/dependencies to the new database/ directory.
If you need to change any paths things can be quite a bit trickier.

Hi,
is it possible to clone a fresh galaxy and reinstall all tools from an existing galaxy (old) by keeping the database and all files?
Cheers Jochen
