Hi, Jumpstart is free, and is more like the AIX nim. ufsdump/restore are ok tools, but they don't make a bootable image. The angian, if your happy with 'boot net -s' or 'boot cdrom -s' mount the nsf fs the ufsdump is on and then restoreing maulally, you'll probably be ok using usfdump. If you want to do these things automatically with one command, you'll probably need a very customized junpstart (not entierly impossible, if you have the time), or a third party non-free (as in beer ;) tool.
