I've always taken the route of destroying the media and replacing it with new.
If the data is important that you back up and you are backing it up because
it lives on something that can break down, you should be certain that you
can restore it.  You can look and see what the reasoning is with bperror
output or the debug logs if you have those enabled.  Also check your
/var/(log|adm)/messages file for errors.  The only exception to the destroying
frozen media would be if it was frozen by an admin user for some other reason.

Thanks
