Any recommendations on how to maintain the attribs (user/group/perms/dates...) of files when they are burned to a cd/cdrw/dvdram, or copied to another partition, and later need to be restored to their original form?
You can use tar, which preserves all of that...
comments on how to handle links?
..and stores symlinks as symlinks, although it doesn't do so well with hard-linked files. (This is one reason that I generally prefer symlinks.)
Or, if there's room, just DD the entire filesystem over to DVD.
