I've never tried that and would be cautious (test carefully first). I just don't know what HDI metadata might also come over and break the version history.

I used that approach here in SWAPI although if I were going to write that again today I'd probably make it more dynamic github.com/SAP-samples/...

I don't know of an official recommendation. Personally, I like just writing my own data transfer that passes through the CAP abstraction layer. Like the ABAP approach that data transfer should always pass through the application logic layer.

This should be safe as long as the source of the copy was deployed from the same version of the CAP application. In general you only want to use this approach to move data but not adjust object definitions. Your history tracking on the CAP side will get out of sync otherwise.
