Duplicate site for Testing

[deb0]

i want to be able to install and test modules on a duplicate site before i push to production. i know i would have to use a copy of the existing database, but what's the easiest way to duplicate the entire site for testing/dev purposes?

You shouldn't use the existing live production database. Do a MySQL dump, and install it and a copy of the files on another domain/sub-domain.

make backups of your files and db so you don't need to duplicate your server...
