As the OP, let me insist that I have multiple backups. However and
unfortunately, those backups do not contain the snapshots that I'd like
to preserve when exchanging the disk. What makes the case complicate is
not the question how to preserve and copy the current data; it's how to
retain the historic data embodied in snapshots.
