I have array of two objects:

genericItems: Item[] = [];
backupData: Item[] = [];

I am populating my HTML table with genericItemsdata. The table is modifiable. There is a reset button to undo all changes done with backUpData. This array is populated by a service:

getGenericItems(selected: Item) {
this.itemService.getGenericItems(selected).subscribe(
  result => {
     this.genericItems = result;
  });
     this.backupData = this.genericItems.slice();
  }

My idea was that, the user changes will get reflected in first array and second array can be used as backup for reset operation. The issue I am facing here is when the user modifies the table (genericItems[]) the second array backupData also gets modified.

How is this happening and how to prevent this?
