COPY A TREE WITH CPIO 
Using standard UNIX tar to copy a
 tree doesn't preserve the original
 owner and group information for the
 directories and files during the copy.
 To do this, use find(1) piped to cpio(1)
 this way:
 
 % cd
 % find . -depth -print | cpio -pudm
 
 This will create a mirror image of the
 tree in .
