Is an AVD encapsulated in a single folder? Can it be replicated?

After somehow managing to create my first AVD, toy with it and "contaminate" with lots installs and uninstalls, it's time for me to start experimenting in a more controlled manner.

My initial thought is to create a "master AVD" which is very clean, from the beginning, and do all kinds of installs and experimentation on copies of it. So that I can always have some "known st开发者_运维问答ate" reference point.

My question is whether this is as simple as duplicating the MasterAVD folder and renaming it?

I noticed that my first AVD folder is accompanied by .INI file (on Windows XP) with the same basename. Should this .INI file be copied as well?

Are there additional requirements for AVD duplication?

And the answer is... YES. I just tried that (duplicating the MasterAVD folder + its associated .INI files, renaming them, and editing the .INI to point to the MasterAVD folder) and it works.
