I'm in the process of trying it now. At first glance
find . -depth -print | cpio -ov | \
( cd /remote/path && cpio -iumd )
appears to work although it isn't copying over sockets. I'm not sure if
this would be a problem if I was doing a restore. On the other hand,
yesterday I did a backup to a remote tape drive using
find . -depth -print | cpio -ov | dd | \
rsh remote-host dd of=/dev/tape
And looking at the tape's table of contents, the sockets went over to the
tape. I would assume that this means that cpio -i is the culprit with
regards to the sockets.
