There might be a better way of handling that... On CFMX I'd just say
use sandboxes. If you're still running CF5 this might work:

Granted that's for Windows and I'm coming into the middle of the
conversation and don't know what os you're using. You can also google
search for "cfx_file" and "cfx_directory".
