If you want to have a simple way of setting up an identical testing system 
then run the store in a UML. It is then easy to copy the filesystem to run up 
a test system when ever you choose.

The one down side is possible problems with performance. You will have to 
test.

Running the store inside a UML also has advantages for backup, although you 
will need to think carefully about file system integrity when backing up the 
rootfs.
