I guess it depends on "what" is messed up on your live site. If it's just a matter of template code errors, then you could simply download the template and upload it on the new site. If it's a modification, then disable it (or all modifications and see if you still have the error). Worse case, you can use impex to import users, posts, threads over to your test board, but if you have a database problem, the import may not go well. Thats what the test board is for though. Just be sure to back up bother before going any further in case something goes wrong. Or, you could always get a professional to do it.

As far as legal.... nothing illegal about having a test board... not sure what legalities you are thinking of...
