Possibly, you can boot it with "-s" for single mode (or "boot -m milestone=none"), or boot a rescue (fail-safe) image and mount the installed system (perhaps read-only, especially if it has a UFS mirrored root; no problems with ZFS ones), or "Ctrl+C" out of the installer on a Solaris/SX:CE boot.

If the system is already running, and you have console access, you can "downshift" it to single-user mode, i.e. "init s"; but after logging into the single mode root you should run "ps -ef" and kill off certain unstopped services (custom VNC server in my case, although it's nearly harmless) as you deem appropriate. Then if you have the ZFS root, make a snapshot and "zfs send" it to the archive (recursively if appropriate). For a UFS or ZFS root you can do "flarcreate" with a specified root (-R) and exclusions (i.e. "-x /export/flar") - but AFAIK flarcreate only saves to a file, you may have hard time piping that into ssh (you might though, i.e. create a pipe-file explicitly - I didn't test this for flars, but used for compressing huge Oracle dumps over 2Gb in size some years ago).
