I haven't moved a site yet, but yeah, that's how I would do it. I think  
besides a database backup and file backup (you can just rename the folders  
you would overwrite, no need to 'back them up'), changing localconf would  
be the only thing.
But maybe I don't understand what you are wanting to do. Do you want a  
completely new copy of your site in a different directory?
