gary,

      your best option (other than getting a bare metal restore product...
which legato didn't offer last time i checked) is to do ufsdumps of your
root and /usr and /var over the network to some disk somewhere.  then, if
you lose the root disk you can just boot off cd or jumpstart a system and
restore the disk that way.  at least, that's always been my plan.  i've
been lucky enough not to lose a root disk yet.

Does any have any experience in doing a OS level backup with SUN?  I am
running networker 6.1.1 to backup the data on the SUN server but in the
event of a disaster how can I restore the OS?  Does legato have some kind
of bare metal restore?  Or is there a command like AIX's mksysb in the SUN
world?  Any ideas will be helpfull.  Thanks.
