Setting up test environment

vB 3.8 beta 1 is out and like many of you I want to start first tests.
Currently I am running vBulletin 3.7.3 Patch Level 1 with many installed products and my own style.

Before I start the upgrade with the upgrade script I want to install a test environment.

This test environment will only be used from me.

What I need is a copy of my productive board where I can make upgrade tests.
I have thought about this many times and think creating one is a lot of work.

Maybe one of you has found a smart solution how to create a working copy of the actual system to test things out?

Anyone with an example or tutorial?

what's hard about making a copy of the files on the ftp, and creating a copy of the database?
That's what I did going from 3.6 to 3.7 and will do it from the jump to 4.0
