Does it work to:

1. Have homedirs be forced-r/w mountpoints, use vos addsite / vos release for backups and do 'vos convertROtoRW' as recovery? I can't see why this one wouldn't work.

2. Do a 'vos copy' to another fileserver and then 'vos rename' the copy back to the original name for a restore? I'm concerned that the numeric ID of the volume would change and that cache managers might wind up confused?

I'm trying to get fast on-line/near-line recovery in the event of a failed shelf or otherwise corrupt fileserver, without going through 'vos restore' for every volume. The 'vos backup[sys]' command doesn't get me what I want because in the event of a shelf failure the clone is gone as well.
