Hi there,
I never had any problems with non-Sun hard-drives. By the way, Sun uses other's manufacture's Hard Drive, such as Seagate. Maybe you will be asked about number of heads, , number of cilinders, etc. Be sure to have that in hands (use format to verify).
About the backup, I recommend you to use ufsdump with the filesystem unmounted and after fsck, to ensure file system integrity. if you use veritas, the command is vxdump. note that with then is better to do a backup with the filesystem unmounted.
PS:
/usr/sbin/ufsdump 0f <device> <file-system mount point or device>
