If one has the physical board in hand AND the schematic AND it's not an
exotic or high speed board, it shouldn't be too hard. I would hand
enter the schematic into KiCAD then hand-place
the parts. Some things need to be placed precisely - mounting holes,
others not so much.
KiCAD will keep you honest - although it doesn't have auto routing, it
makes it easy to
verify that everything is connected to what it must be connected to.
If the layout doesn't work out 2-layer, then I would go four-layer.

LOL. I bet you don't even know if the board is multilayer or not. I
don't, and I'm not about to pull it out of the rig just to find out.
I had a KIO3 board go bad in the past and was lucky enough to be able
to replace it then. Pretty certain I'm screwed if it happens again.

Would you try to replicate that board from that schematic without
having
access to the artwork for the board?? No frigging way. It has to fit
into a fairly small space.
