Can I snapshot a sandbox instance and restore it to a main instance when I'm ready?

Hi,

My environment is going to require some setup (install node, mysql etc etc). I'm going to have to do this on the sandbox environment initially. If I do the leg work on the sandbox env, am I am able to then create an image of that server and transfer it to a bigger instance when I'm ready (not a bigger sandbox instance, a proper production instance).

Thanks,
Allan
