I am not a lawyer and I don't know what parts of RHEL are proprietary but
I would be very surprised to hear that by restoring the backup of the
live system
onto the test box and testing on it you would be violating anything, and even
more suprised if in the surprising case that you were violating anything, that
anything negative would come of it.  The client has a license to the
proprietary parts,
and you  probably aren't going to be touching the proprietary parts
anyway in the
test box. You would be operating in good faith within the terms of your client's
licence to RHEL.
