# Copying .bitcoin to another system

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-07-28)

I already have a bitcoin node running over the network. Now my question is whether copying .bitcoin to another system will make a new node on that system or not?

I have seen some post where people have faced issues in doing so. If it is possible then what is the way to do so.
