While it is NOT supported (that I know of), has anyone had experience with
using a PHYSICAL restore (BACKUP/PHYSICAL) to restore a member of a volume
set without restoring the whole thing ? 
Assume that the volume set is logging errors at an extremely high rate (but
is still functioning).  The volume set is dismounted, the bad disk (disk two
of a three volume set) is PHYSICALly backed up to tape, a new HDA is installed,
and the PHYSICAL backup restored.

Any thoughts, clues, etc ?

Thanks as usual !
