I suggest you consider why you are moving directories about, I have just got out of the habit. If I get a tar or a zip which contains dome data I need I just mount it with fs/tarfs or fs/zipfs and look inside. If I want just a few files I cp them to $home, if I want most of it then I extract the image to the destination where it is needed. Basicially I put a bit more thought up-front as to where I want to put stuff and then put it there. If you want dircp as a backup mechnism then can I suggest either fossil and venti, or, mk9660(8). mk9660 creates a dump-like heirarchy in a single ISO image, mergeing multiple dumps into the single ISO, stripping dumplicate files as it goes; kudos to wkj I believe. -Steve
