How to move from production to test

Log on to the production Drupal site and configure the 'Site under maintenance' block
- Under 'Page specific visibility settings' select 'Show on every page except the listed pages.'
Make a backup of the production site to the Manual Backups Directory (using Backup and Migrate module)
- Drupal 6: http://$productiondomain/admin/content/backup_migrate/export
- Drupal 7: http://$productiondomain/admin/config/system/backup_migrate
Put the test site into maintenance mode
- Drupal 6: http://$testdomain/admin/settings/site-maintenance
- Drupal 7: http://$testdomain/admin/config/development/maintenance
