Duplicate a WordPress Install for Testing Purposes

I want to test some plugins on my WordPress site. However, I do not want to mess anything up. Is there a way to duplicate my WordPress site to a new directory so that I can test plugins there before I push them to the main site?

I sometimes use this plugin

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/duplicator/

it works pretty well if your server enviroment meets it’s requirements.

Otherwise, it’s the good ole, mysql dump route that the other guys explained.
