Full system backup
[251 byte] By [DougAndersona] at [2007-11-26 14:35:24] 
I am new with Solaris.I have a sun box Solaris 8.Is there a system backup similar to HPUX make_tape_recovery or AIX mksysb? If not, how can I save the os to tape, and verify it is valid (i.e. restore to same or DEV server.)

No, not built in to Solaris.

Common is to use 'ufsdump' on the root filesystem. You can 'ufsrestore' that to an alternate location. To restore a server, you'd still need installation media to boot the machine and install boot blocks.
