You can use restore on ZFS, but any of the standard programs for moving
around directory hierarchies will work: cp(1), tar(1), cpio(1),
rsync(1), etc.  Watch out for oddities like files with holes in them or
the use of ACLs as these may need specific apps to transfer -- but there
aren't any of these in the base system, and they would be unusual on
most installations.
