As long as you are meticulous about being clear about shutting things down after a restore, and moving files that are inadvertently pulled down, you can have a backup "server" ready to go.
I would love to see a comment from someone at AC, about why I have to do this to protect my data, since moving to ver. 9 (which I was encouraged to do by AC, without disclosing that it would render backups impossible to restore without their assistance).
