In the page that opens:

Choose Copy Course Materials into an Existing Course.
For Destination, use Browse to carefully select the right course to copy into.
For Course Materials choose Select All and then uncheck Adaptive Release Rules for Content, Announcements and Calendar. For Discussion Boards you'll want to only include the "forums, with no starter posts."
Next choose Copy links and copies of content (including entire course home folder).
Click Submit.

That's it! It may take about an hour to copy everything and you'll get an email when it's all set.
