I guess you question is both too wide and lacking information about your specific goal and constraints.
Backing up depends on a lot of factors, and is not fundamentally different with Solaris compared to other O/Ses.
On important point often overlooked is the restore phase, you'd be surprised to know that a substantial part of back-ups done do not allow to properly restore what they are supposed to.
first you should read about it in solaris basic admin for normal backup which can make backup with #tar cvf for regular files and another way of backup is for file system you can find it in Solaris advanced admin. by using #ufsdumpcommand.
