Demonstration site

The Demo module has two main uses. It can be used to create and restore
snapshots of a site with a simple click that can be useful when testing
modules and during development. Also, with the included optional Demo
Reset module it can be used to setup a public demonstration site, a
sandbox for visitors to use, that is automatically reset periodically using
cron.
