Yes! That's frequently done. HOWEVER! If you're making changes on your #2 copy (to routines, options, templates, etc), what you should do is make a KIDS build of all your work and move THAT back and forth between the systems.

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?
