backing up zones

Actually what you meant was most likely something like:

	tar -cfz zones.tgz /usr/zones /usr/zones/*

This will produce a gzip-compressed tarball named zones.tgz in the
current directory, containing all files in and under /usr/zones. That
file can be copied just like any other file. (And so can the files in
/usr/zones themselves, too.)
