SQL Instant Clone is a technology for creating many ‘clones’ of a Microsoft SQL Server database. These clones appear in a few seconds, use little disk space, and are independent of each other. You can use these clones just like any other SQL Server database. In each clone, it only stores the difference between the clone and the original snapshot.
If you want to use Instant Clone from Powershell, read Using the PowerShell cmdlets.
If you want to use Instant Clone from the Command Line, read Using the Command Line.
If you want to use Instant Clone from the UI, read Using the UI.
