As others have mentioned upgrade_export will back up FW config, but it
will not
get your Solaris OS settings which are numerous.  All exist in /etc so
what I do
is cd to /etc, 'tar -cvf fwbackup<date>.tar *', then move tar file to
$FWDIR/conf,
then tar contents of FWDIR, then ftp tar file off to cold standby backup
server. 
This way you will have a tar file that contains everything you need that
you
can easily move to backup server or to tape.

You can put these steps in a script and run it with cron periodically.

hope this helps

Hal
