I believe it goes something like:

that is spot on thanks! does it buffer anything in memory do you know or any other temp space? Just wonder as there are a few gigs of data.
My personal preference is to do something like:
cd /some/input/dir find . -print | cpio -pvm /to/here
or
cd /some/input/dir rsync -av . /to/here
(need to check the cpio options there -- I don't use that form very often).
