I also have an around the clock production shop and have : limited opportunity to perturb the users of those other databases. Can you install a second ONLINE server on another (or even the same) machine? You could then restore your archive to that other server, then unload the data you deleted and load these data into your original data- base. I know this is pretty tedious, but it should work and not disrupt your production database.
