Consider this: to create a backup of something you need at least read access to it. A mksysb image is the complete rootvg, which includes the most sensitive information of the system (namely everthing in
/etc/security and the like). Ask yourself: will any other user except root be allowed to do it?
The answer is: of course NOT! That should answer your other questions too.
You can do it from a user using a
sudo-rule if you have sudo installed, but that means that this user runs some process effectively as root either.
I hope this helps.

Hello Guys,
Can before and after snapshots be used to verify successful filesystem restoration?
snapshots will be created using fssnaps and restoration is thru legato restore?
Any ideas on this? or any other ways I could verify that restoration is good?

fsck_msdos
FSCK_MSDOS(8) BSD System Manager's Manual FSCK_MSDOS(8)
NAME
fsck_msdos -- DOS/Windows (FAT) filesystem consistency checker
SYNOPSIS
fsck_msdos -p [-f] filesystem ...
fsck_msdos [-fny] [-x snap-backup] filesystem ...
DESCRIPTION
The fsck_msdos utility verifies and repairs FAT filesystems (more commonly known as DOS filesystems).
The first form of fsck_msdos preens the specified filesystems. It is normally started by fsck(8) run from /etc/rc during automatic reboot,
when a FAT filesystem is detected. When preening file systems, fsck_msdos will fix common inconsistencies non-interactively. If more seri-
ous problems are found, fsck_msdos does not try to fix them, indicates that it was not successful, and exits.
The second form of fsck_msdos checks the specified file systems and tries to repair all detected inconsistencies, requesting confirmation
before making any changes.
The options are as follows:
-f This option is ignored by fsck_msdos, and is present only for compatibility with programs that check other file system
types for consistency, such as fsck_ffs(8).
-n Causes fsck_msdos to assume no as the answer to all operator questions, except ``CONTINUE?''.
-p Preen the specified filesystems.
-x snap-backup Use a snapshot with snap-backup as backup to check a read-write mounted filesystem. Must be used with -n. See fss(4) for
more details. The point is to check an internally-consistent version of the filesystem to find out if it is damaged; on
failure one should unmount the filesystem and repair it.
-y Causes fsck_msdos to assume yes as the answer to all operator questions.

BUGS
fsck_msdos is still under construction.
