What about using rsync from the terminal. Do a man rsync and see if that would do it. Probably

rsync -ar * destination_place

where destination_place could be a local drive or another machine with ssh enabled. I've backed up my laptop to my desktop this way but I've not been daring enough to restore it back to really test it out. All the files look to be ok on the destination mac.
