Can I … backup from a snapshot? With a view to using the backup as a restore.
Or in any other weird or secret way I don't know about use a snapshot to create a new database.
2008 R2.
I know I can revert to source … not interested in this at this stage.
Thanks in advance.

Eurgh. Thank you. I’ve had a Microsoft guy on site telling me that it’s possible. I said not. But he’s Microsoft so I doubted myself even though the docs and tests proved him wrong. Appreciate the confirmation there’s no undocumented way.

Perhaps Microsoft guy meant reverting source database to the state it was when snapshot was taken? That's possible.
--To Revert a Database to a Database Snapshot:
RESTORE DATABASE { database_name | @database_name_var }
FROM DATABASE_SNAPSHOT = database_snapshot_name

Not in the scenario we were discussing but yes, perhaps it was a miscommunication of some sort. Thanks for helping me clear it up!
