Hi, David,

Dump/restore is probably the safest way.  From restore man page:


f       The next argument to restore is used as the name of the archive
        instead of /dev/rmt?. If the name of the file is of the form
         ``host:file'', restore reads from the named file on the remote
        host using rmt(8).  If the name of the file is `-', restore
reads
        from standard input.  Thus, dump(8) and restore can be used in a
        pipeline to dump and restore a file system with the command

                   dump 0f - /usr | (cd /mnt && restore xf -)

Jim.
