=== Description

The `copy-config` subcommand creates a named configuration in the
configuration of the domain administration server (DAS) by copying an
existing configuration. The new configuration is identical to the copied
configuration, except for any properties that you specify in the
`--systemproperties` option.

The `default-config` configuration is copied when a standalone sever
instance or standalone cluster is created.

This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
