With this line, you do not have to worry about disk space, as long as
the destination drive has enough. As this is done just in a pipe, I
would not loose the time to compress and uncompress. BTW, this also
handles correctly special files like those in /dev directory. All
permissions will be preserved. Of course, you might need to be root
and the destination disk needs to have been formatted.
