Stop replication on Test (disable scheduler, manually execute Receive and Import only). Because the Replicator Scheduler stores the settings in the DB, turn off all Replicator Services in the Test environment.
Take full Production DB backups on all sites that are represented on Test. Start taking backups from the Main Site.
Save all needed links (settings) from Global Options of the Test system (URL to Crew Portal in Web Services).
Restore backups on the Test SQL server by either restoring as a new database or using the overwrite option. Pay attention to the destination database name and files.
Once all backups are restored, a superuser should open Adonis Control Center and retype passwords for inbuilt DB users (ADPW, REPL, AD_UPGRADE). You can skip this step if passwords match between the Prod and Test.
The Adonis DB version on Production often differs from Test; run the APM upgrade to the desired version. If APM versions on Production and Test are the same, you can skip this step.
Login to APM and remove any link or reference to Production services and add saved ones for Test system

Remove all files from in\Receive, in\ImportStorage, in\archive, out\send, and out\Archive of all Replicator instances on Test. Start Replicator Service. Run the full replication circle manually, starting from the Main Site. If some replication files appear missing, copy them from the Production Main Site corresponding Archive folder. After the complete replication cycle, enable Replicator Schedulers.
