Use the WPAR commands to save and restore individual WPAR and given a shared /usr you will be amazed how small they are. Use mksysb to backup the global AIX – which should not be changing much – treat it as a bucket to run WPARs and not as a general purpose AIX which also does a bit of WPARs. Also see question 15.
