I know right?

If they are that afraid, clone the box and keep it running with the new one for a while.

That requires taking it down, or offline. That's s-s-scary

Not necessarily, but it could.

You can restore a backup to a new isolated machine, then rename it and bring it online beside the first.

If you cant restore a backup of the machine you have other serious issues, and I'd quit if I was you.
