I just tested OFFLINDR and it works great! No changes necessary. I restored the backup to another device (same type) and restarted the Linux guest. Since guests use volser to find a mdisk and not dev addr, this works fine. Of course the volser of the original volume is the same as the volser of the restored volume.
