At some point ufsdump started allowing subdirectories instead of just
filesystems, I think. And worst case, you can use 'ufsrestore -ivf' and
select the dir you want, although the entire filesystem will get read into
memory which could be a bad thing.

Note that you may be able to tweak rsync to do either a full filesystem
or a subdir... I used to use -azrogtvDf to move stuff around. It can be
used locally as well as across a network.

If you have a directory of files, directories, and links... no sparse
files or ACLs or device links...  tar should be fine.
