The following article provices instruction on how to create a Training dataset for System Five. \\
A Training dataset gives you the ability to play around and get oriented with the software, without affecting your live system. \\

To make an updated Training directory (on your File Server) follow these procedures:

**1.** You will need to make a copy of your **System Five Live Data**. To do this, [[http://wiki.wws5.com/doku.php?id=backing_up_your_system_five_data|Click here]]

Note: Everyone will have to be logged out of System Five when making a copy of your data. \\
\\

**10.** At this point, you will be presented with available terminals. Select any terminal and click **Next**. \\
