Very Computer

Its been a while since I've worked with Solaris.  We have just recently
acquired a Solaris 2.6 server, installed with Veritas Volume Manager.
We have created filesystems  through Veritas that I would like to get a
dump of, like ufsdump.  I recall that ufsdump cannot dump vxfs
filesystems, hence the name ufsdump.  Is there another utility (other
than tar or cpio) which will give me a full filesystem dump for vxfs
filesystems on Solaris (not something I have to buy, we've already
purchased our backup solution, this is an interim until we get the other
software in and installed)?

TIA

(_Please_ turn off that encryption stuff, or make it more palatable by
hiding it in headers and reducing the size of the signature.)
