The general concensus is that tar over ssh is better. One of you suggested using dd instead of tar One of you suggested mounting with 'noatime' "That way it will have one less update to do on each file on each filesystem. Also, if you don't need to keep the perms and ownership (you probably do) then use a method that doesn't retain them like plain 'cp' because on really small files the perms and ownership take longer than the actual data." One of you suggested taring, gzipping, scp/ftp and ungzipping and untarring.
