Hello,

for a couple years we are heavily using Solaris 10 zones.
So far we backup them using ufsdump/vxdump. We are investigating
Netbackup as a replacement for ufsdump/vxdump. Our home-made
backup scripts work more or less in the following way:

1. For all <zones>:
        1.1 zlogin <zone>
        1.2 shutdown <application - mainly Oracle>
        1.3 shutdown <zone>

2. For all <zones>:
        2.1 create snapshot and storage checkpoint (depends on license we have)
        2.2 start <zone> (automatic application startup)

3. For all vxfs snapshots
        3.1 vxdump to tape

4. For all ufs snapshots
        4.1 ufsdump to tape

Basically we need similar approach using NetBackup (or if there is
more optimized approach - please tell me).
Can you share your experience regarding this topic ?
What is your approach ?
How many zones do you backup using NBU ?
How long does your backup last ?
