Vem, as I understand it, Solaris 10 system administrators usually backup and restore entire systems using the "flarcreate" command, so type in:
man flarcreate to see the manual page for flarcreate(1M). It's a pretty awesome command, and as far as I know, there's nothing like it in Linux. Also, here's a pretty good blog entry on using "flash archive" to backup and restore entire systems: http://www.cuddletech.com/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=245 and here's the official documentation at sun: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-5668 OpenSolaris 2009.xx doesn't have flarcreate yet as I think they're working on something new that does the same thing. However, if you are familiar with the "beadm" and "zfs send" commands in OpenSolaris, you can send an entire zfs image of an OpenSolaris boot environment over the network to another computer and restore it like this: http://blogs.sun.com/migi/entry/broken_opensolaris_never -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
