I have an sql machine that is working fine. I have a way to backup the database to a hard drive right now but unfortunately this backup is just for the database and misses somethings like stored procedures.
I basically want to create a duplicate of my whole sql machine so I can set up another one. I was wondering if any of you would know any software or any way that this could be accomplished.

Detach the database, copy the mdf and ldf files to new location and attach.
Or backup with sql backup and restore?

Backup covers everything done at that time.
