Copy company & create snapshots in 2025 versions

I understand that in the 2025 versions that we are forced to lock out the system to copy company or create a snapshot, which creates a "safe" version.  However, this is creating a very large issue when trying to assist our customers in troubleshooting production issues.

We frequently use the copy company to troubleshoot customer's issues without having to make changes directly into production at the time the issue arises.  It is not practical for us to request that customers log out of the system each time we need to create a copy, so now we cannot troubleshoot issues as effective or efficiently as before.  We cannot realistically ask our customers to have all of their users log out and we cannot ask our technicians to only work on troubleshooting after hours.

Is there a way to copy company or create a "not safe" snapshot purely for troubleshooting purposes?  We need to be able to assist our customers in real time without forcing them to shut down the system and some issues require copying the production environment to avoid creating bigger messes trying to clean them up.  Has anyone found a way around this new requirement?

I also asked support and it looks like we’re just out of luck for being able to do anything about this, which is really unfortunate.  We prefer to not make messes bigger in our customer’s instances and having the ability to make snapshots on the fly was incredibly helpful.  It is not reasonable to ask our customers to log out for 30+ minutes during the day to facilitate a snapshot. It seems like our options are slimmer now, sadly.

@rena98 In reviewing the release notes, ( AcumaticaERP_2025R1_ReleaseNotes.pdf) there’s no mention of overriding this functionality, unfortunately.  

I suppose if you had someone on your team who was particularly savvy with databases, you may be able to copy the database and then upload it into a local environment (or test tenant).  

Short of a customization/development it looks like the best course of action would be to concede one of your criteria above.
