no, he gave you a mostly reasonable answer, backing up *everything* on a
running machine is a bit of a project if you want it to work when you
restore it after, remember all the config data is there also, like the IP
address for the machine....clobber that and the machine will vanish ;0

restoring the kernel on a running machine is generally bad also, the only
nice way to do this is a disk to disk image, which replicates the machie
exactly, but that might not be what you want either...

hmm..looking at the script there's a LOT of solaris specific things in it
(aka ufsdump, solaris's odd disk names ;) but i'm saving it anyway ;)
It's very sweet...
