Hi all,
I hope you guys will be able to help me. In our project we need to create multiple (50) from a base site collection (site collection for every state). They will have the same content types and site columns. I also like to have content database for each State. Is it possible to develop some kind of template? I don’t think creating content databases from the existing base site collection (backup & restore) will work. I think there will be guid reference of all SP artifacts. Please forgive my ignorance.

is it a single site SC? Â you could save the Web as template if you don’t have publishing. Â Â
Also, especially if you have them all in diff Content Databses you should be able to do it by Powershell like this: (Warning, quick typing so might have some commands wrong)
Backup-spsite http://originalurl -path g:\SC.bak
New-SPContentDatabase  SP_2013_Arizona
New-SPSite http://arizona -contentdatabse SP_2013_Arizona -Owneralias -domai\vlad
Restore-spsite http://arizona -path g:\sc.bak -force
and so on for all of those^
