So, you can mimic an entire tree with something like: cp -al /from/ /to/
pax -rwl -pe /from /to is almost what you want. (It requires that /to exist first, though.) If you want to match the 'cp' semantics when /to does not exist, you can use pax's rewrite option: pax -rwl -pe -s|/from|/to| /from / As a bonus, this works on any machine that meets POSIX, unlike every other option that's been mentioned in this thread (tar and cpio were both dropped from the POSIX standard a decade ago).
