I wanted to check with others doing full system restores on Sun Solaris servers. What do you have to absolutely stay away from if you are restoring the entire server? If you have most of the system, but are not sure what is good and what is not, and you did not have a ufsrestore for instance. Would you stay away from '/' itself, but restore most of the directories below it except '/usr' which is also identified in the system restore documents. Is there any reason you can not restore everything else if you have a running system and then reboot at the end of the restore to get everything sync'd. I am aware this is not the proper or documented method where you use ufsrestore and start at that point. Even with that method it indicates not to restore '/' or '/usr' what about the other directories directly under '/'. I will take any pointers that can be provided, or previous testing with Full system restores on Sun Solaris 9 servers.
