I thought that NTFS had a number of things like non-Unixy file
permissions and alternate file streams that tar is not aware of and
can't replicate. I also thought that Windows still has a few things
that require absolute sector positions, like the swapfile. If it's
possible to back up a Windows-on-NTFS drive with mount and tar, that's
great--but I thought it was unlikely.
I have usually used partimage to back up and restore Windows
partitions. That works. The downside is that it only does a partition
at a time....
