[leafnode-list] Moving news spool

I want to move my leafnode installation to a new machine.  I intend to 
use tar to backup my spool, and then copy it across and unpack it.  
The location on the new machine will be the same.

Can anyone advise me as to what options to use with tar to ensure that 
the spool structure is undamaged, for example to preserve the 
symlinks, file times, etc.

Thanks!
