Please give more details about "snapshot" of what do you want to do.

Snapshot of the system, snapshot of database data. Snapshot of some or all file systems?

It's pretty simple, but instead of writing it all out, how about I just point you to Tony Lawrence's site..

He's a good bloke, and know's what he's on about (even if he is an SCO Ace.. ;P)
