Creating a new VG is my worst-case scenario, but that will be expensive in terms of time - time during which I cannot do expansion of volumes. It's a little frustrating. How risky is the idea of editing a backup file and doing the restore? If I screw it up, I can always do a re-restore of the proper data, no? Thanks...
