Gotcha... restore the DBs to the backup server from the main server's save
(same replica ids), right? That would be another option, I guess...
When we do a monthly test, we leave the main server down for a day and
generally see things replicate back pretty quickly... I just want make sure
this would hold true after a restore from an earlier backup.

I was thinking you could restore what you needed to the backup from the
primary that's saved nightly.
The analysis tools checks for replica existence, consistent ACL, etc...
