Backup,Restore and Service pack's

Asked by Harry8325 in MS SQL Server

I need to perform a backup and recovery schedule.

What i need to do is :

1) from production machine i need to take a full back up then need to restore it on the Test mcahine which already has SQL SERVER installed.
i then need to install SQL SERVER Service pack 1 on the machine and windows NT service pack 6 also, which has not been done uptill right now.
then i need to test the stability of the machine and its performance, on test.
2)Once this is done i need to perform the same operation on the production machine,but according to the management i need to make sure that i remove the previous
installed sql server service pack and nt service pack so that at any instance of time if there is any problem the users can use the test which is a copy of production.

What i don't know is :

1) how to do this with the commands...backup then restore on different machine.
2) Which service pack is stable and suggested for better performance and will solve lots of issues
not have any problem later on, on the sql server machine and database, where stability and performance are critical issue's.
3) is there a chance to uninstall the service pack once installed and how can it be done.
4) while one sqlserver is installed on the machine can i install different sql server on the same machine and upgrade it with service packs to point out to this new one i have to different drives.
5) what tests do i need to take on the machine to check the stability and performance of the machine once the original backup is restored on the new machine.

Can some one tell me how to do this in brief...what need to be done and how, there steps and what commands and which files need to be taken care.

Thanks for ur great help in advance.
