Hello,
sorry about my English.
I need to create a image of entire disk or a system backup. I think use "ufsdump" but I'm not sure. Can I create a backup of whole disk with "ufsdump" command? Are there any application to do it.?
I've got a Solaris 10.
Thank.
Alejandro.
If you want to create an image of the entire disk, then `dd' is an option. But you can also use ufsdump to create an image of a filesystem running on that disk, but you need to do that for every filesystem on the disk and please keep a copy of you vtoc for the future if you need to restore everything.
On the other hand you make me thing about someone who wants to clone machines and then a Flash Archive can also be an option. Please keep in mind to ask the question in the future instead of conformation of your answer ;-)
hspaans,
sorry for my late answer and thanks for your inmediate response.
I would really like to clone the machine for a possible disaster. If this happens I will need to restore this machine as soon as possible. I would also like to save the image of the filesystem on DVDRom.
I will try to use "ufsdump" command.
Thanks,
Alejandro.

Check out 'Live Upgrade.'It's part of Solaris 10. You can use it to create a complete, bootable backup of your existing boot disk on another disk. The backup disk can then be used as a backup, but you can also use it to apply patches or upgrade the operating system.
man -s 5 live_upgrade for an overview
