Brian:
I'm not familiar with "a submirror on Solaris" but I think I am working
on something similar.  My environment is HP_UX 11.11 master and media
servers, I'm in the process of setting up a backup of a Sun box.  We are
mounting a Symmetrix BCV on the Sun server, syncing and splitting it and
mounting it back on the media server.  Because HP doesn't understand Sun
filesystems we must do a raw backup.  The pain with this is that you
can't do a single file restore, you must drop everything back down even
to get one file.  I have set up my policies using for example:
/dev/rdsk/c182t1d6 entries in the Backup Selections.  I have tested my
backups but not the restores yet.

Usually what I've done, is to split the mirror, and then mount the split
plex on a new mount point, like /mnt/backup, then backup that path.

Unfortunately, during a restore, it means everything is relative to that
path.

ie.
/mnt/backup/etc
/mnt/backup/usr
/mnt/backup/var

etc......

The upside is that to restore a machine from scratch, you can add a new
disk to an existing machine...mount the new disk as /mnt/backup, do a
full restore "to original location", and you've got a restored
system.....bit of tweaking to make it bootable, etc.....
