Basha - that basic ufsdump/ufsrestore doesn't give you everything you may need for building out a naviscore server. Those are a very picky system to build out normally (requirement of Solaris 2.6, specific patches, Sybase, HP-OV (and it's patches)).
If you are doing mirroring with Disksuite (recommended), then you could drop side of a mirror and run your ufsdumps from it. This would give you a clean dump versus running it against a live system.
Also, I don't think you specified if you are looking at rebuilding the database server or the client(front-end) (I'm assuming you have separate servers for this) or both. As far as insuring you can recover a DB server, you should be dumping the database at the least, every hour.
