You could do node renames on the adsm server.  I will assume that you have a
NW test machine, so on the server do

rename node nwtest real_nwtest
rename node nwold nwtest

Now restore the files to the nwtest machine and transfer them
somehow to whereever you really want them.  Then do the
reverse renames on the adsm server.
