Solaris global zone and non-global zones backups

For Solaris zones, perform incremental and selective backups of file systems within the zone where these file systems were created.

Treat each non-global zone as a separate system that has its own IBM® Storage Protect node name and run backups from within each of the zones.

If you run incremental or selective backups of non-global zones from the global zone, the global-zone administrator must decide which files in the non-global zone are included or excluded in backups. For example, device, system and kernel files of the non-global zones are not automatically excluded from backups, but they must not be backed up. Restoring such files can make a non-global zone unusable.
