Solution 3: dump the snapshot to tape, and then restore from tape after removing existing snapshots.
Solution 4: boot from floppy, use prev_cp and wack? Has anyone had any experience with 'prev_cp' and 'wack'?
These two solutions exercise code which, while tested, is not as well tested or exercised as the normal case. We test it in house, but since we don't have an active customer base running wack or restore on a daily basis, they aren't as reliable as access through the file system, they aren't as reliable. They have the additional disadvantage that they start by destroying data, so if they don't work, you're stuck.
