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.
