Hi Arden,
Check out the 'man cp' under GNU options. When I need to copy a lot of
data I usually use tar | tar method. I usually am doing that with data
though not system bin directories.
GNU OPTIONS
-a, --archive
Preserve as much as possible of the structure and
attributes of
the original files in the copy (but do not preserve
directory
structure). Equivalent to -dpPR.
