Q: 

AIX 4.3 - Backup entire system over the network?

I want to backup a AIX 4.3.2.0 machine to a network location. In the past, I've used dd/netcat to backup a system like linux. The server does not appear to NFS or netcat on it. I see that I should this command mksysb to complete backup rootvg -- but I don't have a tape for the tape drive.

What are my options here?

A: 

Perhaps copy the machine with scp (Secure Shell cp, you'd need to install "openssh")? Or rsync?
