I created a test forum a while back (well my hosting company did it for me). Since then my main forum has seen many changes I didn't make to the test forum. Lots of new content, pics etc.

Anyway, I was curious as to how I can upgrade the TEST forum to be equal to the live forum.

I'm not sure how to do this. I know there's tutorials on creating the test site from scratch, but now I need to update the test site so its equivalent to the live site so I can test upgrading to a new 4.1.12 to 4.2.

I'm not sure how to export the live site database and update/import it into the test site database, and not sure if I should download ALL files/folders from the live site and simply upload and overwrite to the test site. I don't wanna screw this whole test site up.
