[Zope] copy / past in the Root Folder

[lee doolan]

I am rather new to Zope.

I have a question related to copy and paste in the
root folder.  I have a user folder (RUSER) with
several objects stored in it --some external methods
and some sub-folders.  Each of the sub-folders has a
SiteRoot object, some html files and may have one or
more folders.

I thought that I might form a copy of the RUSER
hierarchy, do some work on it and, given that things
still look ok, rename the copy to RUSER.

The problem which I seem to be having is this.  When
I modify files in the copy, the changes are also
taking place in the original hierarchy.  I suspect
that the copy operation is a shallow copy but I am
unable to verify this hypothesis.  First: is my
suspicion correct?  Secondly, if I am correct, then
is there a way to use the copy and past buttons to
perform a deep copy?  Should I perhaps do an
import/export?

Help.
