Is there any way to integrate the snapshotting functionality of UFS via the 
fssnap_ufs 
command in Solaris with NBU 4.5?  The desire would be to use it in either full 
or 
incremental dumps.  Even if we don't use the scheduler, but put the bpbackup 
job 
under cron control, that would be okay.

I'm evaluating 4.5 (and liking the new calendar feature).  However the forces 
around
me are less than thrilled about having to give up either atime or ctime 
modification
on files.  Is there any way to preserve both?  I guess what we're looking for 
is a
backup solution which will have all of the neat goodies of Netbackup, still use
standard data backup protocols (eg. ufsdump or tar), but operate on the blocks 
under
the file system (as ufsdump works on the raw device under the filesystem it is 
backing
up).
