this should work, as long as you don't require any user content to remain - feedback, comments, forum posts and sitelog entries. Simply backup and restore the database as well as copy over all files for sync (besides web.config and cache files)

Sebastian is correct. I've used this process twice already today. I'm actually taking copies of a live DB to create a testing environment, but it's morally the same thing.

be aware, that you need to ensure a) portal alias is containing current domain address and b) both connection strings in web.config point properly to your database (no issue, if using user instanced db in IIS Express).

Ah! Good points!

Thanks.

We werent going to copy the config - so the connection strings shouldnt be an issue.

But yes, the site alias could be.
