Reporting Test Web Environment

Has anyone come up with a way to deploy reports to a test environment without
purchasing a new server and a second copy of Reporting Services? I would
like to have second website with a copy of our live site for testing purposes
but we don't have the resources or the demand to warrant a second server.
There's nothing that I can find in the RS documentation to create a second
instance. I tried making a new virtual web in IIS and copying the files to
the web's underlying file structure but that did not work.
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403426.aspx
