That's just what I do here. You have to stop the database, I do so at night by script and then copy the complete db-files to my emergency-server with the same os and instance installed.

In case of trouble it will take only a few minutes to start the secondary instance and reconfigure the client-software to connect the other server. All tested and working fine...
