cp is not efficient for your need, use RSYNC.
this way, the second time you "backup", you only copy
newer files and don´t crash your box... ;)

Hi;
Is there a data recovery utility anywhere available? Not one that loads into
Windoze, but straight into FBSD. I tried the following command to back up my
working HD to my new 1/2 teraflop HD:
cp -R /* /ad2
and I managed to crash the system (recovered easily) and fry some important files on ad2.
TIA,
Rachel
