Just some bad experiences from Y2K. 

You're looking for trouble with any backup/restore mechanism that is
date sensitive .

You're also looking at software licensing that may selectively go crazy
(if it's using an anti-tampering algorithm). 

The only way to do this is to completely isolate the system or use
software designed for time "warping" (and there should some around left
from the last millennium ...)
