[SunHELP] Backupss, how to organize?

[Henry Buford III]

Personally, I use NetBackup.  I think it smokes the alternatives.  Not that
I'm biased or anything.

 Hi Maarten,
             Actually, I have handled a 12 more file
 systems with 4GB in Each, i'm taking these by Ufsdump
 with incremental type.

             This is better way to take backup for
larger file systems.
