Hey,

Not sure why anyone would run Win natively and guest UNIX of their own
volition ... but hey, if someone has some data that supports that solution,
cool.

First consideration is _always_ backups. All the tools for storage are
included with 'Solaris.
Of course tar, rsync and friends are available (and a whack of solutions
based on these as well).

Externalizing your storage through a NAS/SAN would be an excellent direction
to pursue as well.
Hypervisors (Vmware and others) can make hardware available to guest(s)
certainly.
