I have tried a few methods ie: cp, cpio, and rsync, all as root. I am getting various "Permission denied" and "Invalid argument" errors. Does anybody have any clear answers jump out at them without me going into greater detail? -- Thank you, Vincent A. Primavera. Director of Information Technology.
