Make a hard drive clone of the new fresh install and do periodic incremental data backups to a network share somewhere for data.
If it failed, drop in the cloned HD and restore data from backup files.

I've been asked to find a way to backup a Solaris SPARC machine. The request was: Suppose you have a fresh install of Solaris, and you want to back it up completely such that if you got a brand new machine you would be able to "just restore" this backup image of Solaris to a new hard drive and boot the new machine without having to re-install Solaris. How would you go about doing this?
