We're successfully backing up about a dozen zones across 5 solaris 10
boxes, running SAP.  We have to specify a saveset for each filesystem.

I believe (but have not tested) that the Networker module for Oracle
will work, but at the moment, we're using hand-written scripts to put
the DBs in backup mode, then dropping them off to tape.

According to Sun, you should be able to install packages (such as
Networker) into individual zones, and have them patched independantly.
(We just install the Networker client into each global zone and copy the
/etc/init.d/ file like you did, + /etc/rc2.d/S95networker)
