I'm following this strategy for several years now, in in case I need to
restore from such a "backup", I use cp --reflink when copying the snapshot over
the original.
Without the --reflink you'd get a completely new copy of your snapshot, and
when producing new snapshots they will not have anything in common with your
previous snapshots --> more disc space.
