SnapMirror, yes. The target volume of a SnapMirror operation is always
read-only. If you make it read-write, another Level 0 dump is required.

SnapMirror, no. NDMPcopy, maybe... I never tried.

Yes, easily.

SnapMirror, no. NDMPcopy, maybe.

SnapMirror is a commercial product, contact your sales rep for more info.
Hope that helps.
