Can I copy a report in Report Manager?

I'm a newbie to reporting services.
Is it possible to copy a report to more than one folder in the Report
Manager? We have a staging area where all of our reports are being
deployed. They are then moved to specific folders for various clients.
Some clients will use the same report, so it will exist in more than
one location. Is there a way to copy the report in Report Manager to
the respective folders or do they need to be uploaded to each folder?
Thanks in advance,
GabeHi,
In a word, no! You can upload it multiple times to different places.
You can also create "linked" reports, these are basically shortcuts to
one report although I doubt this will work in your scenario because you
will be tied to the one set of datasources.
So I'm afraid you will have to upload or deploy and move, upload or
deploy and move etc.
I guess you could look at the ReportServer catalog file and decipher it
to work out how to copy but I wouldn't recommend it!
