Hello Bernhard,

Thanks for reply. 

And it wasn't work like that. 

We had tca for our data and our data does not related or altered from TYPO3 
backend. 

Our system someting like frontend editing, its adds another data layer for 
generating page structure and adding plugins/html content  and stores data in 
different db table.

My table structure like

page_id.location_key, language, content.

Each record related with a page id and custom location.

when we copy entire site structure, our records have to copied too

and in copy stage 

page_id of page_id.location_key have to replaced with new page id.

Regards.

Sancar
