Then just repeat the process. There is no difference between Linux & Solaris on
this part since they're both utilizing Apache and Tomcat.

Look into "ufsdump", depending on the filesystem you've used.

You can also use flar create to create a flash archive which you could burn
to a CD for reinstalling later.

If backup need is only files you need to recover, why not use old and
"good" tar
tar as root with preserve attributes like permissions ,etc..

example tar /etc , /usr , /

then recovery is just fresh install and untar as root with preserve
attr's needed files from archives

Just note : there is issue with gtar and solaris tar , readed
something that gnu tar is not able to create posix compliant archives
so moving files between Linux<>Solaris can have some problems.
but install gnu tar from sunfreeware.com then this should work ok.
