 4. Use TiDB Lightning to import data into the target table.

+## How can I use TiDB Lightning and Dumpling to copy a schema?
+
+If you want to copy both the schema definition and table data from one schema to a new schema, follow the steps in this section. In this example, you'll learn how to make a copy of the `test` schema into a new schema called `test2`.
+
+1. Create a backup of the original schema with `-B test` to select only the schema that you need.
+
+    ```
+    tiup dumpling -B test -o /tmp/bck1
+    ```
+
+2. Create a `/tmp/tidb-lightning.toml` file with the following content:
+
+    ```toml
+    [tidb]
+    host = "127.0.0.1"
+    port = 4000
+    user = "root"
+    
+    [tikv-importer]
+    backend = "tidb"
+    
+    [mydumper]
+    data-source-dir = "/tmp/bck1"
+    
+    [[mydumper.files]]
+    pattern = '^[a-z]*\.(.*)\.[0-9]*\.sql$'
+    schema = 'test2'
+    table = '$1'
+    type = 'sql'
+    
+    [[mydumper.files]]
+    pattern = '^[a-z]*\.(.*)\-schema\.sql$'
+    schema = 'test2'
+    table = '$1'
+    type = 'table-schema'
+    ```
+
+    In this configuration file, set `schema = 'test2'` as you want to use a different schema name than the one used in the original dump. The filename is used to determine the name of the table.
+
+3. Use this configuration file to run the import.
+
+    ```
+    tiup tidb-lightning -config /tmp/tidb-lightning.toml
+    ```
