    Hello Frank,
    why not use alt_disk_install onto an SSA-Disk every night.
    In the redbook
    Complete Partioning Guide
    an Example is described on how to clone your Systems through
    alt_disk_install. There is only a describtion for scsi-disk but i think
    you could transfer it to SSA.
    Maybe thats the solution you searched for.
