Creating Oracle Solaris Unified Archive Backups

You can use the zonecfg and zoneadm commands to configure and to install new zones directly from a Unified Archive file. Unified Archive files contain both zone configuration and zone data. On the destination system, a zone can be configured and installed from the archive.

For more information, see Using Unified Archives for System Recovery and Cloning in Oracle Solaris 11.4 for a full description of Unified Archives, including usage for system and zone cloning and recovery.
