as Fajar has said, the R/W snapshots don't work like that.  being R/W
means that you can write to the snapshot, so that you can have several
versions of a volume, all a little different, all independently
writable.

IMO, the easiest way to copy back a file is simply using a network
filesystem.  you restore from backup to a file server, and read it
from the DomU.

if the DomU is totally unstable/unbootable/untrustable, then it
shouldn't be running, so you can mount its volume on Dom0, and rebuild
it (using the backup) before starting up again.
