Is there some kind of system maintainance tool that saves file and
directory ownership and permissions? Technically, it'd be a proper subset
of GNU tar since GNU tar not only ``tars'' into a tarball but it also
preserves the ownership and permission structure on all files and
directories. Please cc: Thanks.
