Didn't copy it, I have 2 sites in my domain, one at home and one that travels! After reading below, I see that is not an answer to the question you had. Sorry.
Performing a Backup using the SMS Backup task and then a recovery with that data should put you very close to completion though.

I installed VMWare Workstation on my laptop (Lenovo W530, 32gb RAM, 2x480gb SSD) and built a server that I promoted to a DC in my home lab. Allowed it to replicate and voila! Instant domain on my laptop. So I just installed a SQL box and the product boxes all pointing to the single SQL box. With the SSD works GREAT!! When I get back home I crank it up and let it replicate again to sync, but I have a full domain environment that I carry around with me.

Has anyone ever done something like this before and can share their thoughts? What really goes into this? I'm assuming I'll need to: * Build a copy of our current production or clone the VMs into a separated test network (including one Domain Controller) * Install SCCM 2007 * Either perform a SQL import of the database, or run the Site Recovery wizard and import the data that way I understand this is a newbish question, but it is a scenario I've not run into before now. Thanks! Stephen Owen
