May I ask why you don't just move it to the root folder?...

Most times it's only a matter of copying all folders/files to root then change the paths in config.php by removing the /cms part...

If you would like a test site/copy that you can do new things to see if they work you can copy the DB into a new DB and point one of the installs to it...

If the server is at all decent it takes me about 20min. to move...

cPanel > MySQL Databases > new DB > add user to DB...

cPanel > phpMyAdmin > open existing DB > Export tab/export DB > open new DB > Import DB...

cPanel > file manager > select all > copy to root > edit config.php...
