Re: Multiple Vaults, upgrades, and testing
Additional vaults come in handy for departments that won't need a lot of maintenance. We use an additional vault for documentation, as they are only adding two file types and they don't need any complicated workflows or permissions. Plus, we don't need that vault replicated.
Additional vaults do not share any data at all from the DB.
I handle testing with virtual servers. (VMWare.) I don't generally test the upgrade. If it worked for beta then it will work for production. (I hope.)

Re: Multiple Vaults, upgrades, and testing
We have an additional vault for training and one for developing new functionality we plan to add to the production vault. These are copies of the production vault We use a virtual machine to evaluate new versions. Licensing is by client not by vault. -
