Sure, Andy, we can make a copy of Server and restore it, and all the files will be copied as well. (In fact, I Smart Update a backup of my own server every evening.)

The amount of time is hard to say, but we drive the I/O bus as hard as we can.

Restoring the server depends on the amount of time it took to back up. If you use Smart Update, though, it won't need to copy most of the data, and that'll go significantly faster.

Hope that helps!
