  The best practices question is a little big and I'll leave that to someone else to answer.  However, you can definitely do a backup/restore within the same domain and you won't be violating any best practices doing it.

  thanks 

  you mean to say that i can install another server  farm(test) in the same  domain  and restore the  backup from the  production ?

  is that correct ?

  Indeed you can.  Make sure that any previous attempts have been deleted though as if an item with a GUID matching anything within your back-up is detected, it won't restore.

  thanks steven 

  I have just  installed sharepoint 2007 in a test server (not created any site ) . and i have  backup using both  stsadm utility and sqlbackup  from the production server 

  How do i begin the  restore the backup from the  production to  test which i have installed  without altering anything on the production server 

  Just restoring the sql backup is  not enough ?

  Thanks
