Try import / export the site from admin OR (if you don't have an existing target site yet...)
Do the database backup / restore like Henrik suggest. Remember to copy the blobs as well in that case to get the correct images and redo the website settings in admin to get correct url settings for the site.

Hope that helps!

You had the mirroring functionality for setting it up to run automagically before. I wouldn't recommend any automatic solution using api on this part. Possible...sure. Good idea? Probably not.

The database have ony two unique data and those can be set with sql-sript

update dbo.[tblSiteDefinition]
   set SiteUrl = 'http://test.site.com/'
 where Name = 'MySite';
    
update dbo.[tblHostDefinition]
   set Name = 'test.site.com'
 where Name = 'www.site.com';
