For what it's worth, cpdup works perfectly fine to copy a
disk (or any directory tree), even the root FS. It's easier
to use and more efficient than dump/restore, and it's not
restricted to whole file systems. Therefore I'd suggest
mentioning cpdup in this FAQ section (unfortunately I'm not
a native English speaker, otherwise I'd try to formulate
an appropriate paragraph myself).
cpdup is in the ports collection in the sysutils category
(I really wish it was in the base system).
Best regards
Oliver Fromme
