Hi all,

Couldn't find anything about making a which is exactly like the live site.

I have the latest backup of my site and was thinking i want to try to add a couple of mods to my site.

I am wanting to know:

1, Can i upload my latest database backup to a publichtml/test_site folder?

2, Is this the best way of 'testing' new mods etc

3, Is there anything i should do if i do this, to not hurt my server or site securtiy

4, what about SQL and the new admin login page?

5, Is this a recommended way to go about it?

Thanks for your time

Cheers,
Grant.
