Restore Config to different UTM for temporary Disaster Recovery?

Question

I have 2 x SG 135 UTMs at 2 different Clients. 
 I also have an NFR SG 135 in my own Office that I use for testing. 
 Both Client UTMS are under warranty and full Support. 
 If one of them fails can I simply load the backup config from the Client UTM and load it on to my UTM? 
 That way I can quickly get them going with my loaner UTM while we're waiting for Sophos to ship a replacement. 
 How would loading a Client config on to my UTM affect the Licence? 
 Thanks, Martin

Your plan is sound, Martin. The config backups of all three SGs contain the license file for the device. You can load the client's config on your machine to replace theirs and then reload your own backup when you retrieve your NFR SG. As a mod, I can see that you're from down under and I don't know about replacement policies there. Here in the USA, any RMA requested by 3PM Pacific Time (California) results in a replacement arriving the next day at the client site.
