Nothing is stopping you. If you have a VM cloned ( NOT a snapshot but a full clone ).
There is no difference when your server fails and you turn on the cloned VM.
Assuming the clone is up to date you are good. I've had to do this before when a server died.
Remember - since it is a clone the SID and domain information is all identical to the first one. Which if you are using that clone as a 'backup' of the orginial is what you want.
Test you clones before you actually need them to make sure if the day comes you arent screwed!
