I'd like to create a rule that copies an existing node, makes some small modifications and saves it.

The node to be copied has an embedded view. My intention is to trigger the rule according to a schedule and thus generate a periodic saved snapshot of the view.

I'm totally lost as to how to begin. I see a "create new content" action. I'm pretty sure I understand how scheduling works now. I have no idea how to copy the contents of an existing node in to the new node.

Any help would be appreciated.

To copy the contents of one node to another, use the 'load a node' action, then all of its fields will be available to populate into the second node.
