ONTAP 5.3 has an optional (license required !) "snaprestore" feature [...]

And if you don't have the license can you still call support and have them walk you through the undocumented procedures to do this from a boot floppy

You really don't even need to boot floppy (search for the the "floppy-boot?" setting in the boot system) if you are in a hurry. The prev_cp works for 5.x as well but it is a bit of a hack to do this sort of a restore (OTOH I doubt that the "snaprestore" is anything more than a wrapper over prev_cp which masks out the checkpoints stored in the NVRAM log.)

they should've spent more money on books and less on leather jackets

Come on, those were pretty sweet jackets! :) (and the logo was rather subdued for a corporate freebie.) Last I heard they decided to pocket the money they were spending on the jackets and the class docs are still very weak. They should also put the class docs onto the web somewhere because there are times when the docs aren't handy and I need to remember if it is 26/7 or 28/7 that fries my disks...
