I use rsync a lot because its incremental. This is off topic from

You're right - tar doesn't handle files with holes. Not too many of those
around.
/dev you can and should always remake. Typically it's only sa0 out of the
generic set that tar skips.

Do not have a tape drive..but if thats the only

I always newfs a new disk, mount it async on /altroot, and use
cd /local_fs
mkdir -p /altroot/local_fs
tar cfl - . | (cd /altroot/local_fs tar xpf -)
I make sure I do a MAKDEV all in /altroot/dev
and I make sure I do a disklabel -B on the new
disk.
It's pretty simple.
