Then again (not sure how gurus feel on this point) but I have this

That is not possible, except in the case of a mirror, where one
side is recoverable separately.
I was referring to zipping up a snapshot and getting it outta Dodge
onto another physical box, or separate array.

You seem to be confusing "snapshots" with "backup".
No, I wasn't confusing them at all. Backups are backups. Snapshots
however, do have some limited value as backups. They're no
substitute, but augment a planned backup schedule rather nicely in
many situations.
