If you have a server dedicated for backups over the network, then you apparently have several other servers that need backing up? Why not just adopt Amanda? Amanda Open Source Backup. There is a wrapper I posted on the Zmanda wiki that does fssnap snapshots with ufsdump for Solaris. Backup client - The Open Source Backup Wiki (Amanda, MySQL Backup, BackupPC).

If you just want to try to do it yourself, the examples on docs.sun.com (in the System Administrators Collection for Solaris) depend on rsh and .rhosts. Those are generally regarded as not being secure. I would do it through an ssh pipe. I have a rather extensive script that does the same fssnap snapshot with ufsdump and can do it to a remote drive over ssh. I recently posted it so that people could look at it for reference. Minimalist SysAdmin Tape backup script for Solaris 9 or 10. You're welcome to look at it for reference and/or use it directly. However, it sounds like your situation may be better served by using Amanda.
