Wish I knew what the db structure and data requirements were. In my
ignorance I would suggest having a workstation app basically
regenerate the database. And have a server script lock, and reload the
new database, from .sql or .xml.

If you can provide a description of what the server does (processing
wise) as it is, I might be able to come up with a more intelligent
solution.
