Backup on USB
How can i backup the whole solaris system to a usb.
I have already mounted the usb:
/dev/dsk/c2t0d0s2 15G 3.5G 11G 24% /dns_backup
Is there a specific command to backup or do i have to manually copy all the files to the usb.
I will use the backup to restore the system after doing hardware raid.

usb-devices(1) Linux USB Utilities usb-devices(1)
NAME
usb-devices - print USB device details
SYNOPSIS
usb-devices
DESCRIPTION
usb-devices is a (bash) shell script that can be used to display details of USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them.
The output of the script is similar to the usb/devices file available either under /proc/bus (if usbfs is mounted), or under /sys/ker-
nel/debug (if debugfs is mounted there). The script is primarily intended to be used if the file is not available.
In contrast to the usb/devices file, this script only lists active interfaces (those marked with a "*" in the usb/devices file) and their
endpoints.
Be advised that there can be differences in the way information is sorted, as well as in the format of the output.
RETURN VALUE
If sysfs is not mounted, a non-zero exit code is returned.
FILES
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*
The part of the sysfs tree the script walks through to assemble the printed information.
/proc/bus/usb/devices
Location where the usb/devices file can normally be found for Linux kernels before 2.6.31, if usbfs is mounted.
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices
Location where the usb/devices file can normally be found for Linux kernel 2.6.31 and later, if debugfs is mounted.
