Goal

To take a copy of a working data-set, eg for use in a QA / DEV environment.

 

In a scenario where it is desired to take a copy of a working data-set for any reason, often the best approach is to use / restore a recent backup of the database.

Depending on requirements for the copy ( consistent vs inconsistent ) or the load on the DB ( users / concurrent access ) or simply the size potentially being prohibitivly large, there are a number of options available.
