I need to create a new portal on my dnn install and copy the exact site from the original portal into the new portal. Basically what I am trying to achieve is to make a second copy and then make some minor modifications to that 2nd portal such as site name, domain name, etc....

The end result is having two similar sites but on different topics. One on baseball and one on football. This is setup currently on the main portal with points modules, etc... All of these modules and content will work with the second portal as they are portal specific. So i just need to change some wording, graphics etc on the second portal and not have to recreate it.

Can this be achieved using the site export and import or would that import back to the same portal. What is the best way to achieve this?

to copy a portal, go to Portals in Host menu and "create a template" from the original site. Next create a new portal for the target site using the template.
