cpio and gunzip or tar for cheap backup, for furthere use migrate UFS to ZFS using lucreatre, luactivate commands and in the future you can easily backup your data on remote server using ssh and zfs send, zfs receive.
Problem with ufsdump is that only Solaris knows how to read it because UFS isn't platform independent. As one more solution you can create UDF image with lofi device and then move one UDF image.

scha_resourcetype_get
scha_resourcetype_get(1HA) Sun Cluster Commands scha_resourcetype_get(1HA)
NAME
scha_resourcetype_get - access resource type information
SYNOPSIS
scha_resourcetype_get -O optag -T type
DESCRIPTION
The scha_resourcetype_get command accesses information about a resource type that is registered with the Resource Group Manager (RGM).
Use this command in shell script implementations of the callback methods for resource types that represent services that are controlled by
the RGM. This command provides the same information as the scha_resourcetype_get(3HA) C function.
Information is output by this command to the standard output (stdout) in formatted strings, as described in the scha_cmds(1HA) man page.
Output is a string or several strings that are output on separate lines. You can store the output in shell variables. You can also parse
the output by using the awk(1) command or other shell commands for further use by the script.
You need solaris.cluster.resource.read RBAC authorization to use this command. See the rbac(5) man page.
Authorized users can issue privileged Sun Cluster commands on the command line from the pfsh(1), pfcsh(1), or pfksh(1) profile shell. A
profile shell is a special kind of shell that enables you to access privileged Sun Cluster commands that are assigned to the Sun Cluster
Commands rights profile. A profile shell is launched when you run su(1M) to assume a role. You can also use pfexec(1) to issue privileged
Sun Cluster commands.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-O optag Indicates the information to be accessed.
Note -
optag options, such as API_VERSION and BOOT, are not case sensitive. You can use any combination of uppercase and lowercase
letters when you specify optag options.
The following optag values retrieve the corresponding resource type properties. The value of the named property of the
resource's type is output.
