Thanks Alec,
Very interesting; thanks for the info.
I have been able to mount the snapshot and retrieve the data while the system is running as mentioned on the article but ultimately I would like to restore entire partitions (from a system crash, for example).
Is it possible? How can it be acomplished? On single-user-mode maybe?
Your help is much appreciated.

Not a direct answer to your question, but you'll want to read it if you're doing snapshots. << attach3 >>
