John,

It sounds like you are saying that I should do the Restore 21, then your
Step 1, correct?  If so, that was going to be my plan.  But doesn't that
sequence of events mean that any user profiles that were deleted since the
Save 21 will now be back on the system?  If so, that's the piece I can't
get a handle on; it would seem to me there would be a better way to handle
that situation.

And this will be my 3rd Scratch/Restore in the last month, so I'm getting a
bit more comfortable with it.
