Moving an extreemly large file system

[Brian D. McGrew]

I'm taxed with moving a 200GB filesystem from one server to another.  If
it wasn't so big I'd think nothing of it and use the told 'tar | rsh'
trick but I'm a bit concerned since it's over 200GB and 730,000 files.

Is it safe to use tar or should I use dump or a script and '/bin/cp' or
what?

Thanks!
