Jim Don't do it - a recipe for disaster and you will get lots of "You did WHAT?" from vendors if anything breaks.
Dump/Copy the stuff you want from the "live" system and then isolate your timewarp system from everything else.

However, that instance would "touch" catalogs from our "production" instance which would be running with the current date. Is this a recipe for disaster or will I get away with it.
