What OS are you using? HP-UX or Linux?

How are the machines connected? NFS?

(I asked the moderators to move it to the correct board.)

Using the correct options to cp -p, with preserve ownership and permissions. And with -r preserve symlink.

(Same with scp/rcp.)

Of course you could use pax/tar or fbackup/frecover.
