Thanks to all replies. Almost everyone suggested using "rsync" which is what I
am planning to use. In fact the download page
http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/index.html
has a nice recipe for cloning system drive which I am planning to use (rsync
-ax)
Tim Evans <tkevans@tkevans.com> suggested I use SUN's own "live upgarde"
package available free for download. This has some interesting potential for
doing upgrades to OS with minimal inturruptions. I am looking into this.

Original Question:
-------------------------
I would like to use rdist to clone my system drive onto c0t1d0 (partitioned
the same way) on a daily/weekly basis. Reason for wanting to use rdist is that
there is not much change in system drive on a daily/weekly basis. Is this
possible?. I would use a cron command to mount the / ,/var and other slices
one at a time, rdist changes and then umount that slice. what is the
procedure to do the same? (rdist part of it). Also how would I prevent the
script from unmounting the slice until the rdist process is completed?
