I've just been doing some thinking about disaster recovery and how I would go about making complete backups on my FreeBSD file systems, for example from disk-to-tape or else maybe disk-to-disk. Now obviously, I _can_ use cpio to make a full backup, but looking at the man page for cpio, I don't see anyweher where it talks about the file flags that are documented in chflags(1) and chflags(2). So I'm assuming that cpio WILL NOT preserve these flags, correct? So how am I supposed to preserve them when making my full backups?
