Hi Tertius,
I think you are saying that you have an OpenSolaris system with a
one-disk root pool and a 6-way RAIDZ non-root pool.
You could create root pool snapshots and send them over to the non-root
pool or to a pool on another system. Then, consider purchasing another
disk for a mirrored root pool configuration.
The root pool snapshot recovery process is described here:

I have one drive that I'm running OpenSolaris on and a 6-drive RAIDZ.
Unfortunately I don't have another drive to mirror the OS drive, so I was
wondering what the best way to back up that drive is. Can I mirror it onto a
file on the RAIDZ, or will this cause problems before the array is loaded when
booting? What about zfs send and recv to the RAIDZ?
