it is good that you are making backups of your content before a failure occurs, so you can recover more quickly. This is unix, so there will always be several ways to accomplish what you want. A few common tools to backup are: tar, cpio, and ufsdump - you may want to read the manpages on each to choose the one that is best for you.
I notice that you are using the Solaris LVM to make metadevices for some, but not all, of the filesystems. I would encourage you to invest some money in buying the additional drives needed to at least mirror those few un-protected filesystems. That would save you a lot of time, effort, and aggrevation to recover when a drive does fail in the future.

local-filesystems
local-filesystems(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual local-filesystems(7)
NAME
local-filesystems - event signalling that local filesystems have been mounted
SYNOPSIS
local-filesystems [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The local-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all local filesystems listed in fstab(5). moun-
tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
activity.
This event is typically used by services that must be started in order for remote filesystems, if any, to be activated. Remember that some
users may not consider it wrong to place /usr on a remote filesystem. For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.
This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.
EXAMPLE
A service that wishes to be running once local filesystems are mounted might use:
start on local-filesystems
