I've tried to move my production site to my local machine. (copy umbraco folder + make database backup + create local site in IIS) But I'm having some problem.
When I try to use my site (mysite.local) I've redirected to myproductionsite.com
I'd start by checking your network DNS server - you might be redirecting based on a network rule.
Secondly I'd check your hosts file in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc" to make sure the only rule you have in there is for your local URL of the site you're running.
Thirdly, check your local web.config - you may have CustomErrors set to redirect to a fully qualified URL - therefore punting you off to a different site, in this case it's your live site. The same goes for any 404's you have set up.

Hi Mike - how did you get on?
Change the values inside umbracoDomains sql table or add myproductionsite.com to your host file under C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
