Carrots don't have a nervous system. I like this one. Insects, moles, rabbits, gophers, etc do - all slaughtered in the name of raising vegetables. They also all have nervous systems.

Sounds like snapshots that can be seen by the QA boxes may be the way to go. Our DBA's have been using our backup process as their cloning tool of choice - just restore to a different target - 8TB across the wire will be painful tho unless you're on 10GB.
