I am trying to use archiveadm to backup/clone an existing Solaris11.4 system.
However, i failed at media creation with the error -> "Media can only be created from archives containing root-only data"
q1) Can we use archiveadm to clone a system that include both rpool + non-rpool datasets ?
q2) Can this archive then be created as an iso media ? - if it cannot be done, why let us create a clone archive that contain rpool + non-rpool datasets in the 1st place ? how do we restore from it ?

Archive::Any(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Archive::Any(3pm)NAME
Archive::Any - Single interface to deal with file archives.
SYNOPSIS
use Archive::Any;
my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file);
my @files = $archive->files;
$archive->extract;
my $type = $archive->type;
$archive->is_impolite;
$archive->is_naughty;
DESCRIPTION
This module is a single interface for manipulating different archive formats. Tarballs, zip files, etc.
new
my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file);
my $archive = Archive::Any->new($archive_file, $type);
$type is optional. It lets you force the file type in-case Archive::Any can't figure it out.
extract
$archive->extract;
$archive->extract($directory);
Extracts the files in the archive to the given $directory. If no $directory is given, it will go into the current working directory.
files
my @file = $archive->files;
A list of files in the archive.
mime_type
my $mime_type = $archive->mime_type();
Returns the mime type of the archive.
is_impolite
my $is_impolite = $archive->is_impolite;
Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack into the current directory rather than create its own.
is_naughty
my $is_naughty = $archive->is_naughty;
Checks to see if this archive is going to unpack outside the current directory.
DEPRECATED
type
my $type = $archive->type;
Returns the type of archive. This method is provided for backwards compatibility in the Tar and Zip plugins and will be going away
soon in favor of "mime_type".
