We really don't need the data. Theoretically we'd have an empty Unit Test master db to use.
Already sent a reply back to Kellyn so those same questions apply to you but with one additional:
These new copies, could any of these be run on developer workstations instead of a server? Does Delphix have a way to facilitate bringing a copy down to a workstation (since we're talking about 70-100 GB only without the actual data).
