Command Full backup for Solaris
Guy's

There is command in AIX called mksysb -i it's taking backup for all system , is there any similar command in Solaris doing the same thing in Solaris ?

don't know what the aix command does... but maybe "flarcreate" is what you are looking for...

You mean taking backup for the whole system or all systems? What do you mean?

flarcreate can do that. you may still use native ufsdump

for example

Code:
su -

Code:
cd /cdrom/cdrom0/

Code:
find . -depth -print | cpio -pvdmu /

Code:
 cdrecord -scanbus

Code:
cdrecord -v blank=fast dev=x,x,x

now check size of UDF image
Code:
du -sk /var/spool/pkg/

now create a new UDF file system

Code:
mkfile -nv 1800m /var/tmp/UDFimage

create virtual device

Code:
lofiadm -a /var/tmp/UDFimage

using mkfs and fsck are allowed lofi FS

Code:
mkfs -F udfs /dev/rlofi/1 && fsck -F udfs /dev/rlofi/1

now mount it

Code:
mount -F udfs /dev/lofi/1 /mnt


now copy files
Code:
cd /; find var/spool/pkg/ -depth -print | cpio -pvdmu /mnt/

when everything is copied we may unmount FS and we will have one UDF image

Code:
umount /mnt && lofiadm -d /dev/lofi/1

and now we can burn it on DVD

Code:
cdrecord -v -pad -data -sao dev=0,1,0 /var/tmp/UDFimage

and we can verify quality

Code:
readcd dev=0,1,0 f=/dev/null

Code:
eject cdrom

Code:
exit

or you can use just flarcreate or ufsdump command

my exapmle is cheap backup on few DVD
