How to create a duplicate website on IIS

I was given a fully functional website.  I want to create a duplicate version of the website for development purposes.  The original source code is located on the server at C:\Inetpub\vhosts\default\htdocs\SourceCode and a copy of the source code is located at C:\Inetpub\vhosts\default\htdocs\DevelSourceCode.  I created a new website in the IIS manager.  I also created a new application pool using the configuration from the Default Website's application pool's settings.  I set the development website port number to 88 so that it wasn't the same as the default website's port number (80).  I know there are a few more steps to this process.  Can any one point me in the right direction as to what I need to do next.

Thanks, in advance

Are you wanting to create 2 sites that have independent domain names associated with them or sub web directories?

I think 2 sites that have independent domain names would give me the best situation for development testing.
