Saving dynamic Management View Information

Does anyone know how to save dynamic management view information so I can
still use some old view info after I stop and restart sql serverSELECT * INTO mytable FROM sys.dm_whatever
?
Or you could create table(s) beforehand with all or a subset of the columns
(and a datetime column), and collect a heartbeat every n minutes by using
INSERT ... SELECT. However, you'd want to keep the table trim depending on
which view(s) you're tracking... because it can grow very quickly.
