[support] How to duplicate a Drupal Setup.

[Mike Ryan]

Hi Lloyd,
You can change the names of the web sites by changing the vhosts file  
and the hosts file. I always have to look this up to remember how to  
do it -- and there's posts on drupal.org that walk you through it. But  
there should be a vhosts file within your Apache files and a hosts  
file in your operating system files.

If you upload your files into a database that you create in MySQL, you  
just need to change your settings file (sites/default/settings.php)  
with the proper MySQL settings and you'll probably want to change your  
base url settings in the same file.

In general, for your purposes you can also just search for  
instructions on how to migrate a site, which is all you're doing w/  
your backup.

Hope that helps.
