How to I refresh a SharePoint 2013 test environment with what is in the production environment?

I have a SharePoint Server 2013 production environment and a test environment (same SharePoint 2013). I am tasked with refreshing the test environment with what is in the production environment. What is the best way to get this done, without messing up anything or disrupting the production environment?

Thanks for the help.

Hi, @Spawn10-0581 ,

For refreshing the test environment to the current production environment, I will suggest to create a brand new farm, then take a backup of production using Backup-SPFarm -Full, and restore it to the test farm.
