Not really,
a little bit of hard disk is all you need to have a dual boot machine
and have your own sandbox. Not that I would do it but is a way of
jailing and minimizing your risk.
Of course you drop the data once from your backup source and at the end
of the test you wipe it out, you do not leave or take the data back with
you to your real network. The data must be disposable to minimize risk.

I really don't want to think about the security and privacy hazards
associated with restoring a database chock full of highly confidential,
fully identified patient medical data onto a teenager's home PC... Or
any home PC, for that matter, given that the degree of physical,
anti-virus/anti-trojan and firewall protection afforded to home PCs
rarely meets the standard required for general practice computer networks.
Does anyone else see a problem with what Cedric is suggesting?
