I have a hard drive containing archived stuff accumulated since Oct '99 (RH6.0) that is beginning to get errors. I need to get that stuff copied to another drive in another machine. The two machines are networked, so copying is no problem. The problem I'm having is finding a way to preserve ownership, permissions and date/time. I've looked at rcp, ftp, ftpcp, ftpcopy, wget, smbclient and some others whose names escape me and haven't found (or have overlooked!) a way to preserve the attributes.
Any suggestions?
Using tar to create the copy will save and restore all the attributes.
