By the way, this here is the crux of your problem: it's not the technology it's the process in your organization. It's inadequate and doesn't fit into what's actually available in Solaris. Like I wrote before, you're trying to fit square pegs into round holes. What is needed here is process change, at least for Solaris. You need to change the process such, that your organization no longer deals with systems in terms of slices, but in terms of imaging technology and os images. Then the backup policy of backing up and restoring slices becomes completely and totally irrelevant. In short, the process in your organization is deficient.
