Anyone ever tried backing up the disk that Sol 10 is installed on
using a whole disk backup package?

I've tried doing it using Acronis backup which allows you to boot from
CD, and backup to USB hard drive. Anyway, it seemed to work when I
restored it.

Only problem is when the machine now boots it seems to run some sort
of Acronis pre-boot and then GRUB appears on the screen but then it
hangs.

Any ideas at all? I'm just wondering if just the boot sector/bit needs
to be fixed?

Do I need to boot from Solaris CD and do 'installgrub' ?
