Is there a rake command in Rails 3 to clone my development database data?

Is there a rake command in Rails 3 to clone my development database data? I noticed rake db:test:prepare and rake db:test:clone are mentioned throughout various blogs, but running them seems to do nothing. Furthermore, rake -T shows no db:test cases. I’ve resorted to loading a sql dump for now, but it would be great if I could just clone my existing development data for up-to-date testing.

EDIT —
I desire to test on a database since I am dealing with legacy data that I run through model filters when accessed. Factories won’t work for me in this context, since data passed through create is defined as a different schema than that of the legacy data.

    rake db:test:prepare is still there even though it doesn’t show up in rake -Tdb. I guess the Rails team decided to de-clutter the rake -T output?
