Just to add to the discussion.... the three ways I've read back in solutions are: XDA/R, Exodus and GMV. XDA/R is by far the safest and easiest. If you think you need to be able to restart, then you should be writing out XDA/R _along_ with whatever visualization format you like (for instance VTK). Then you can use VTK to visualize and delete the xda/r's if you're sure that you won't need to read those solutions back in.
That said, I currently use Exodus for reading solutions.... if you are interested in that or GMV look at their respective copy_nodal_solution() methods. I'm sure you could add a similar method for VTK.
