thats what i wanted to try.

so  i created a new pv on the new disk,  then I edited the backupfile so 
that it has one segment on the new harddisk in it instead of the missing 
parts.
and then i tried to run  vgcfgrestore  first with the -t  option to see 
if the backupfile is correct , and then without (since the VG is a old 
1.0x VG i used the -M 1 option)  in both ways i got this error message

Cannot change metadata for partial volume group Data
Restore failed

how can I restore the metadata to the new disk?

best regards
