It may be tricky but you can make a copy of the projects folder in your vss database folder system. Then create anew project folder in vss gui. Edit the ini in the duplicate folder to point to your new project folder in vss. You may bet issues of duplicate references though.

I wouldnt recommend doing this. Its better to just use a copy of the local folder where the project is located and create a new duplicate folder in vss to link to it. If you need the history on the new copy then do a show project differences choosing the original project and the dup.
