You could also use the extension w4x_backup which creates a full backup.
This takes a database dump and backs up all all the file system
directories required to do a full install.

Therefore you can do the following:

- On production machine, run full backup via the typo3 interface
- Download the file to your dev machine
- Setup new database, untar dummy typo3 setup in new directory
- Untar the full backup, import the database (inside typo3temp dir) and copy the directories
  into the blank install
- Go into the typo3conf directory and remove any temp* files
- You should then be able to login to your dev setup and it should be an
  exact replica of the production setup.
