And how many restores did you do from that configuration?

We did it a few times....
 Basically we took the snapshot then moved it to the other filer's allocated
drives. We then used our private Backup network connected via Fiber to
backup these unattached Databases. We used a rename script an actually kept
6 copies on the other filer's allocated drives. If we needed to restore we
ran a script that copied from either a tape backup restore or one of the 6
copies to a restore location on the filer. We had a general purpose restore
server set up for all network restores and the Exchange instance pointed to
the restore directory.

How often did you get a corrupt DB?

After some initial issues with the NetApps box mostly OS related which have
been addressed in the latest version of ONTAP never.... Even when the filer
went down the Databases stayed consistent.

Were you able to restore to a different machine?

Yes see answer from first question...
