If you have ssh(1) installed on both machines, do something like this
dump 0f - /filesystem | ssh user@remotemachine 'gzip >
filesystem.dump.gz'
on the system to be backed up.
That should write a compressed dump to the remote machine, assuming that
* the local filesystem isn't changing (log updates etc)
* the remote system has enough diskspace
Then you can rebuild the sick machine, and when it's up & running do
cd /filesystem
ssh user@remotemachine 'gzcat filesystem.dump.gz' | restore rf -
to bring the files back. All these commands should be run as root.
I'm afraid someone else will need to help you with the vinum stuff....
