I would set up SQL Server, then restore the DBs, then use DTS to migrate
the DB to access if you must have it in access.

Or tell the client you need it in access.

Although, if you really want to mirror the production environment, don't
use access at all.  There are differences in the SQL syntax and DB
behavior that may necessitate the use of MS SQL Server over Access.
