Hi All !
Is there any way to duplicate a location in GRASS57 (including a way to
specify the new names for tthe postgres database names) ?
Thanks.

It's informative and essential.
A location is simply a directory with GRASS mapset directories in it. By
default, it always contains a mapset named PERMANENT. PERMANENT (or other
mapset dirctory) contains GRASS GIS files and a set of text files specifying
projection parameters and extents. All mapsets in a location have the same
projection and default extents. To copy a location and all the stuff in it,
simply copy the directory. If you want to duplicate a location but make it
empty, make a directory with a PERMANENT directory inside, and copy all the
projection files (DEFAULT_WIND, PROJ_INFO, PROJ_UNITS) from the original
LOCATION/PERMANENT director to the new one.

Thanks, I knew that I can just copy the files, but by doing that I'm not
creating new tables in my postgres database....
How can I do that and still have the link between maps and data ?

After you have copied your location and all of the files therein, either...
1) it will connect to your postgres database just like before (this is the
most likely as you will have also copied the var file and other similar
files that specify the path to your postgres database) OR
2) you will need to run v.db.connect to re-establish a connection between
your vectors and postgres.

So, in order to protect my data from any riskly operation, I should
1) copy my location
2) copy my database
3) in grass relink maps and vectors
Is that rigth ?
