Just an idea about making and restoring
backups.. If you just 'cp', you change
all the permissions and timestamps and
other metadata.. if you 'cp -p' you can
preserve some of that, but some stuff
technically changes if you're using
SELinux and whatnot... but if you use
'tar' to back up and then untar into
place (as root, of course), you should
get all perms and ownerships and
timestamps as the originals.

Oops, and I just noticed you were
copying over from Windows, so none of
this applies :D... Still keeping the
post as a suggestion for future
backups.
