backing up the vtoc
Can you backup the vtoc, then restore it if you somehow mess it up?
This is solaris 9, x86.

Yes indeed - see the manual pages for prtvtoc and fmthard. Use prtvtoc to take a backup of your vtoc - and then use fmthard when you need to restore it.
e.g. (on intel) prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0d0s2 > /some/file then fmthard -s /some/file /dev/rdsk/c1d0s2 Cheers ZB
