rebord, I'm afraid your answer is misleading. The syntax is really:
-bs=<snapshot backing store location> <directory to backup>
kurva: I'm also afraid you are misunderstanding the ufs snapshot purpose. The backing-store directory/file isn't the place where the backup will be stored. Only filesystem changes happening during the snapshot live will be stored there.
Creating a snapshot is also only the first step of a backup operation. You need to use a real backup command like ufsdump afterwards.

You'll find real examples with "man fssnap_ufs".
Yes, you're right. That was a bit of a mental lapse on my part.
Also, you can usually find good step by step details at docs.sun.com. Here is a page of step by step instructions for using fssnap, including with ufsdump, on Solaris 9 -- 47.Using UFS Snapshots (Tasks) (System Administration Guide: Basic Administration) - Sun Microsystems. The steps will be the same for Solaris 10, but you can, if you want, also find the section of the System Administration Guide for Solaris 10 (or 8 for that matter).

Hi guys.
I'm confused how LVM snapshots work. Here is what i understood:
