This step covers both domains and non-global zones as follows:
Domains – ZFS pools are backed up either as ZFS streams or as ZFS snapshots. Snapshots are performed on the ZFS storage appliance. The ZFS pools covered are the rpool, the bpool if present, and the u01-pool for Database Domains. Backup information and streams are stored in osc-config-backup/domains/hostnamehostname (see Backup Data and File Structure).
Application Zones – Zones installed on internal drives or on the ZFS storage appliance are covered by osc-config-backup. The zone's rpool is backed up as a ZFS stream. The backup information and the stream are stored in osc-config-backup/domains/hostname/SolarisZones/hostname (see Backup Data and File Structure). This is the only backup available for the zone. If the zone is installed on external storage, no backup is performed.
Database Zones – Zones created with the SuperCluster tools (such as Java OneCommand) are covered by osc-config-backup. ZFS pools are backed up as ZFS streams. The ZFS pools covered are the rpool and the u01-pool. The streams are stored in osc-config-backup/domains/hostname/SolarisZones/hostname (see Backup Data and File Structure). This is the only backup available for the zone.
