INTRODUCTION
------------

Demo Site is a simple module that allows you to take a snapshot of a Drupal
demonstration site. It turns a Drupal installation into a sandbox that you can
use for testing modules or publicly demonstrating a module / extension / theme
(you name it). In short: With cron enabled, the Drupal site will be reset to
the dumped state in a definable interval. Of course you can reset the site
manually, too.
Demonstration site module help to create snapshots of your drupal site. This
will save the current version of your site and you can restore to this version
later.

Two Options of taking snapshots :-
(1) Database Snapshots Takes the snapshot of the whole database.All files
will get stored in the private directory. On resetting, All the configuration
settings and nodes will get restore.
(2) Configuration Snapshots Takes the snapshot only of the configuration
settings of your drupal site. All files will get stored in the private directory.
On resetting the drupal site, this will only configuration setting will be
restored. Nodes will remain as it is.
