You don't need to restore system back. Just make this (backup) disk
bootable (I can't remember how, but search in list archive) and boot
from it. Later make copy from backup disk to primary.
installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/$DEVICE
10x for help, francisco
I don't now what is this 5 GB disk and what interface have, but based on
SCSI (for example 40 MB/s) 5000 MB / 40 MB/s = 125 seconds
BTW don't count as diskspace only nonfree disk space, because my
idea to use dd commadn is
dd if=/dev/rdsk/..... of=/dev/rdsk/.....
i.e. make EXACT copy of disks (disks are equivalent)
(If someone see error, please correct me, I don't have Solaris machione
at home :-((( )
That should work provided the OP has an equivalent extra disk in the
system.
Otherwise tar, ufsdump or rsync the approriate partitions to somewhere
safe. Rsync will allow you to restore the quickest since it will only
copy over changed files, but it's also not standard on Solaris, so if you
need to recover from a boot cd, the whole process will be a lot trickier.
BTW: cpio will work file too (just like ufsdump)
