I use tar something like this:
dbx:/home/davep# cat bin/move_em
#!/bin/bash
# moves ns1 web files .. (updated)
# ( cd /mnt/www ; tar cf - * )|( cd /www/htdocs; tar xvlpsf - )
# now lets get the usr
# ( cd /home; tar cf - * )|( cd /mnt; tar xvlpsf - )
# ( cd /mnt/home ; tar cf - * )|( cd /home; tar xvlpsf - )
# ( cd /mnt/var/spool/mail ; tar cf - * )|( cd /var/spool/mail; tar
xvlpsf - )
( cd /mnt/etc ; tar cf - * )|( cd /home/davep/old_etc; tar xvlpsf - )

change the paths and mount points to suit...

aloha,
dave
