Thread of the Necro-Dancer:
Regardless, the step Katie was apparently implying (but seems to be missing from her description) is the bit where you backup the database and restore it to a separate instance. after this is done, you can then install a new management server targeting this
new instance, and then promote the new management server to the workflow server, and run the isolated database using the new management server. 
i would recommend, however, that you use
the supported method of producing a upgrade lab with production data, which is very similar to the method Katie implied, includes directions covering all of these steps involved, and allows you to periodically restore production data to the lab database
with minimal overhead. 
I didn't notice the date before now. I just look at the latest unanswered posts, so not sure how I got into this one. But technet has been acting weird lately. I get an internal server error far too often.
