This and dump/restore should work.
Make sure the amount free in the snapshot is greater then the amount used though because it will double the snapshot usage.

He wants to restore the real LV to the state it was in at the time one of the snapshots was taken.
Nah :) I want to sanp a volume, mount the snap, do my `stuff`, if I like it, I can merge into the primary copy and continue or dump the snap and go back...
That would be so very usefull! I know I can dd out the snap but that so not elegant (and slow)!
Use rsync to copy the changes to the lv?
