Clone SQL Server databases
I have a 2 databases on 2 servers, Server A db1 and Server B db2.
Db 1 is a clone of db 2 from 2 weeks ago, and was never updated since then.
There is a short way to make db1 exactly like db2?
db2
db1
You may get better results asking in DBA Stack Exchange. That's designed specifically for Database Administration issues.

a backup from one, and restore to the other is probably the easiest - but you could also used redgates sql compare/data compare tools to find differences for you and move the changes from the source to the target database.
I believe there is a 14+/- day trial for both, so you could try them out. I own all of the redgate tools and find them invaluable for these (and other) problems:

I agree backup/restore is the easiest way to make sure db1 is exactly the same as db2. One could also use SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) to compare database schema and data.
