It means that tar was originally design to handle unix files, and it's
a good way to duplicate file systems. I used it so many times...
Tar preserves uid/gid/perms/dates/devices/links, everything you need to
have a working copy.
But.. Maybe cp can do it too.
And tar may be used to copy via ssh
tar clf - | ssh othermachine:/mnt tar xf -
for example (-l is like -x for cp)
