backup files on Solaris8 box
I want to create a backup operator a/c for my backup server to use to connect to my solaris 8 box to do a full backup. Which group should I create this user in in order for the a/c to have enough rights to backup everything under "/" file system? (using "root" is definitely not a good idea!!)

If you want to back up absolutly everything under "/" regardless of permissions and don't want to use root, you may want to look into ACLs. You could create an ACL and apply it to all files to give a certain user (whatever you would name your backup user) read only permission to everything. I don't know if this is applicable to your situation, but it might spark a better idea.
