[geeks] On the job stuff...

[Andrew Weiss]

Am I right in my assumption....?
That...
Solaris 8 has no built-in way to perform a proper online backup of the 
root slice.

I'm going through my cert materials, and they seem to indicate such... 
all solutions for backing up root slices have to do with bringing the 
machine up in single-user mode via the Install CD and using ufsdump and 
ufsrestore.  Does one need Veritas or something else to do a more 
advanced backup.

What does everyone do in production... obviously it would be silly to 
take backups even in the middle of the night if you have to bring the 
machine down.
