I do copy of a site like this.

A. First I pack and copy the relevant folders in the source site 
(fileadmin, typo3conf, typo3temp (this is maybe unnecessary to copy), 
uploads).

B. make a fresh TYPO3 installation in the destination site

C. make a mysqldump of the source site (with SSH client):
mysqldump -u sourcesitedbusername -p sourcesitedbname > 
sourcesitefilename.sql

D. import the sourcesitefilename.sql file to the destination site and 
replace the db with it:
mysql -u destinationsitedbusername -p destinationsitedbname < 
sourcesitefilename.sql

E. import the other packed files and unpack them.

Very fast and reliable - in my case both source and destination have 
been linux systems.
