How can I copy a Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 solution

Question

I have a CRM 4.0 solution in production and I would like to make a replica of it so that I can use it as a test server.

What are the alternatives to accomplish this? Cons / Pros?

Ended up following the process from Microsoft:

It looked like there was not another alternative.
