Could have had a peer-to-peer system, swapped the "server" for another client and been up and running. Just sayin'.
That's pretty much what he did. Copied the data over, reinstalled the programs, and was operational in 2 hours. 35GB of II and restoring the database takes time. Anyone who's running a server can double back to P2P. So that's not really an advantage of P2P ha. He could've just as well have done a bare metal restore to the night before and had a fully operational server. That requires the same hardware. This is where Virtualization is awesome because you can move virtual machines between physical machines if necessary.
