NIM mksysb recovery

I have multiple LPARS on p650 with mix of AIX5.2 and AIX5.1 with different rml level
My understanding is creating mksysb nim on NIM server is for new installation of LPARS
Then;
How do I do mksysb backup on existing lpars for recovery purpose or how do I do all mksysb to a NFS mounted Filesystem on NIM server
my NIM server is lpar3 with AIX5.2 RML 5 and cd rom is on my lpar4
