Why can't you mount the disc on /mnt and then use tar after mounting

tar cpf - -C /mnt . | tar xvpf - -C /destdir
That will preserve hard links, symlinks, permissions, and times (and
doesn't require rsync).
There are other methods involving cpio, but I find tar to be nice.
Just FYI, a trick using cpio which Julian once taught me:
find . -depth | cpio -pdmluv /destination/dir/here
