I assume you configured your store and layers using the admin GUI. Personally, I use the Geoserver REST API (from a self written JAVA client) to configure Geoserver.
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/restconfig/index.html If you invest some time to create REST scripts/clients, exercises like deep copying a datastore are quite easy and you do not have to bother about the ids.
