- How do I make a complete backup of a /usr client system? `mksysb' doesn't
- backup the mini-/usr, because it is not mounted. I would like to backup the
- entire system to a file on a NFS-mounted filesystem, then dump the file to
- tape on another machine. When the time comes to reinstall the system I would
- like to do a network installation using the backup image.
- I tried to perform the reinstallation with a `mksysb' generated image, but
- the install procedure failed.

- Also, how are you supposed to shut down a /usr client gracefully? When you
- issue the `shutdown' command, somewhere along the way an `ifconfig en0 down'
- is performed, blowing away the remote /usr and the shutdown can't continue.
