[ale] Best command to copy a mounted filesystem?

[dcorbin at machturtle.com (David Corbin)]

I want to copy (as in "mirror") a mounted file system for the purposes 
of backup.   I can think of a handful of approaches (my first, dd, 
doesn't seem to work). What's the best way to do this.  Note: I'm not 
talking about make a .tar file or anything of the sort.   I want to 
duplicate the filesystem.  True mirroring is not an an acceptable solution.
