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? you could save the Web as template if you don’t have publishing.
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^
