XF 2.2 Copying data base

[Bionic Rooster]

I'm trying to copy my database from the live site to a test site using xf Import Data. I'm having trouble finding the last 2 requests for (Internal Data Directory) internal_Data_Path and (Data Directory) external_Data_Path
Does anyone know where I can find these?
Thanks

They're the paths to the data/ and internal_data/ directories of your XF installation. If this is for testing 2.3, we recommend cloning the site as-is and then upgrading instead as I don't think the importers have been updated yet.

Thanks @Jeremy P The internal_data/ was accepted but data/ returned "The directory data does not contain the expected contents."
Have not cloned before so I'm not sure how to go about it.
