Hi,
You can do the following:
1. Create a web application: http://test.comp.com
2. Backup all site collections
3. Restore each site collection using a Host Named Site Collection.
Restore-SPSite http://someurl.comp.com -Path \\file_server\share\test1.bak -HostHeaderWebApplication http://test.comp.com.
Make sure the “someurl.comp.com” DNS entry is pointing to the correct machine, to make sure requests are being handled okay.
