Vdump vs. Networker

I've got a question. Last week I posted a question about how I would go about backing up a system disk. I had also mentioned how I use Networker to backup the filesystems. I got quite a few responses, and they all agreed that vdump/vrestore was the way to go. My question now is why am I using Networker to backup the filesystems, and vdump to backup the system level stuff. More to the point--why am I useing Networker at all. Couldn't I just use vdump exclusively? Perhaps I am missing something. Maybe some of you could tell me about your backup strategies, and what works / didn't work for you. Thank you so much in advance...
