You dont want r/w snapshots for archiving. An archive of a previous date is
worthless if it can't be absolutely utterly and definitively read only.

It is hard to do well, but its an important item. One possiiblity is to do
it by replaying the log to a r/w snapshot (in ram) over a r/o snapshot (on
stable media)
