as Craig says, if it's just a direct copy of everything you want then a backup of the database will do it.
however if you don't trust the install/database or some other reason and want to start afresh you can use usync to help with that.
To put the site onto a 'new' install of umbraco i would:
On the orginal site. :
Install uSync (& ContentEdition) if you want content
On startup it will create a uSync folder with everything in, but if you want to be sure - from the uSync dashboard - do a full export
make sure you know what plugings / adons are installed (for step 2 below)
New Site:
Build a new blank (no starter kit) version of umbraco
Install all the plugins you have on the orginal on the new site.
Install uSync ( & uSync.ContentEdition if you want content)
Copy The uSync folder and views, css, scripts, and any other custom folders from the orginal site and put them in your new version.
Restart the site / run a import from uSync - everything should come across - and be configured like the old site but on a new install.
But as Craig said, for a direct clone, its probibly easier to copy all the files and the DB - and change the connection string in web.config to your restore of the backup database.
Hi Kevin,
Everything worked fine with your solution except there is one problem. Every page on my website works fine except the "Contact Page". I am using CodeShare Starter Kit and its Contact page is not working on my new website. Its giving me this error :

I haven't played around with that starter kit, but I would guess that you are probibly missing the DLL that comes with the starter kit and contains the surface controller code for the Action being called on the Contact page.
I had a quick look and i think it might be CSUSK.Library.dll but i am not sure
Umbraco uSync
How can I use uSync in Umbraco and import by website to a different server?
Hi Qamar,
Personally i would take a backup of the database of the site and move it across.
I would then use uSync to manage changes between development and live.
There is a content version also now, but I have never done a full export / import of the content
