About the only thing that comes to my simple mind is to backup the
current /etc/netinfo directory and maybe /etc/hostconfig on a
machine that can be off your net for a while, replace these with the
files you want to examine, bring up the machine with the old netinfo
database, do appropriate nidumps, do an nilist or niprint to catch
anything what the nidumps miss.  I've taken to doing nidumps and
and nilist whenever I want to preserve a NetInfo database, as these
allow easy recovery of specific little items, like a user's password
or a printcap entry.
