You *could* make a tarball and copy that to NTFS. Imperfect but no
semantic loss that way
Not intending to complain, but I literally, actually _just now_ said that:
I don't know for certain because, frankly, NTFS is so unpromising a
target for Linux backups that it never would occur to me to try, except,
if I were absolutely forced to use NTFS as a target, backing up trees
inside some container archiving format such as tar or cpio that is
specifically designed to encapsulate *ix metadata.

Sorry Rick... I missed that.
I am absolutely astounded by the number of time I've seen *IX "admins" at fortune X companies copy a tree to a windows share and wonder why it's broken when they try to restore
from it. NFS, if not done correctly, can do that same thing too. So...
sigh
