flarcreate with multiple excluded dirs

Greetings -

We have several systems that we wish to backup for potential system
failure. A good solution seems to be a flash archive thrown on our
jumpstart server. However, our systems often have a fair amount of NFS
mounts and data mounts that (a) we don't want to dupe, (b) we can't dupe
because of their size. To minimize downtime (even though this is probably
a better process done while the system is quiesced), we don't want to take
the data and nfs mounts down.

My question is whether anyone knows of a solution of doing multiple
(directory) excludes in a flash archive? Some sun support guys who came
by last week to fix a problem said they heard a rumor it could be done,
but it had to be done with multiple archives and merging, and they didn't
know how.

thanks,
ivo
