New I'd use tar.
Tar I can make do what I need it to. I don't know cpio.

Incidentally, I've done this over an ad-hoc ssh pipe. Required some thinking to setup but it worked.

Is it enough to love
Is it enough to breathe
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please

New Re: I'd use tar.
I have a bad feeling about tar. Not standard, sometimes doesn't copy 0 length files, etc. cpio is totally standard. But I really don't know which is better. Who else has needed to mv/cp a gigantic tree?

New I've done it on Linux.,
cp -pR does the honours, preserves security.

Note that that's GNU cp. Proprietary UNIX upholds the tenet that "if it don't suck ass, it ain't worth paying for", and cheerfully trashes the security.
