If the release of VOE is 'on hold' (like Kevin's thought about big money from private EMR vendors), I guess I'm going back to work on installing FOIA VistA. Two questions I haven't found addressed in the archives:

1. Is there a way to install VistA and then package that installation and copy it to another machine? For example to install it on a machine in my office but burn a disk to take the 'installation' home (or move it to a laptop for the same purpose) to work on it at home, and do the reverse the next day? There are so many steps in configuring VistA that I have not managed to replicate the same installation on two different computers. I would like to keep the 'production' machine in one place, but I'd get yelled at if I stayed in the office all night working on VistA, and I can't get much done between patients during the day.

2. Which VistA directory or directories should be a part of a daily backup? Would a 'restore' from that backup serve re: #1?
