Thanks David, the restore is working without errors now after removing the hard-coded link you suggested.
However, the site will not start on the localhost. Normally I start the local site with this link: "http://localhost:8888/abstractedpixelslocal/" but when I do that the link changes to: "http://localhost/abstractedpixelslocal/" and just a blank white screen is displayed.
If I change the localhost link to: "http://localhost/abstractedpixelslocal/wp-admin" it redirects back to the domain site.
UPDATE: I see that the wp-config.php file did not have the localhost parameters set, they still had the same as the domain. Do we need to update the wp-config.php file each time we are cloning to localhost?
