So it shouldn't be too difficult to create a policy that backs up the
data in the target zone via the visibility from the global zone. 

If you wanted to *really* complete, you could have a pre-backup script
do a zonecfg -export on the zone into a file, and include that file in
the backup, or backup the /etc/zones/<zone>.xml file directly.  Then
you'd have something you could use to recreate the zone if that were
useful to you.

I don't see any big problems in backing up a 'whole-root' zone.  I'm a
little worried about the potential for lofs links to be followed in a
shared-root zone.

That said, I haven't tried this with NetBackup yet.

Brendan Gregg has some notes about backups on his zones page:

He and I made some comments on a sun forum page:
