If I was a paid admin looking after multiple servers, yes, that's the
obvious thing to do. But this isn't my job, and I can't afford to buy a
second set of hardware, so the only practical test is to actually do
it.
I don't usually take a full backup, but I certainly will this time.
Even so, if I have a serious problem and need to restore, I can't
actually troubleshoot the problem offline, and will simply need to try
again when I have more time.
