Hi! Does anyone knows a way to duplicate volumes?  
On each stack we are creating two volumes with rancher-nfs driver and external false. (check [here](https://bitbucket.org/ingadhoc/rancher-catalog/src/194135db9025ea7e4ddf4d4b0a7cd6c99b2a6609/templates/adhoc-odoo-90/0/docker-compose.yml?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default#docker-compose.yml-64))

We usually need to duplicate stacks to make tests or for training purpose, so we need to duplicate volumes also. I can solve stack duplication from ui, api or just creating a new stack, but I haven’t found a way tu duplicate volumes.

I’ve seen this [volumes api documentation](http://rancher.com/docs/rancher/v1.6/en/api/v2-beta/api-resources/volume/) but I wasn’t able to achieve it.

Thanks!  
Juan
