hi,

I would like to take a reliable backup on software mirrored partitions.

But i am confused of using ufsdump utility. I confused, because i'm not sure that, if i used metadevice path(/dev/md/dsk/d20) or device path(/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3). Could you give me any information about way you're using for backup on SOFTWARE MIRRORED partitions. Of course i need information not just ufsdump but also i need information for fssnap too.

I also need information about recover of software mirrored partions/disk and state database.

Thanks in advance,
Qrshat.

You need to use the device on which the filesystem resides (d20 here).

Thanks jlliagre, This is enough for me. Now i'm very clear.
