That should work for a small archive. As the number of hardlinks
grows, most non-image copying methods slow down enormously because
they detect them by building a table of names and inode numbers
and do a linear scan of the table for each one to match them
up. It's possible that xfsdump does something better but it
would be a good idea to keep the option of doing image copies.
