User needs to copy a number of directories. Currently, they are using cp -pr which is taking way too long.

virt-tar-out
virt-tar-out(1) Virtualization Support virt-tar-out(1)NAME
virt-tar-out - Pack a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.
SYNOPSIS
virt-tar-out -a disk.img /dir files.tar
virt-tar-out -d domain /dir files.tar
virt-tar-out -d domain /dir - | gzip --best > files.tar.gz
DESCRIPTION
"virt-tar-out" packs a virtual machine disk image directory into a tarball.
The first parameter is the absolute path of the virtual machine directory. The second parameter is the tar file to write. Use "-" to
write to standard output.
EXAMPLES
Download the home directories from a guest:
virt-tar-out -d MyGuest /home - | gzip --best > homes.tar.gz
JUST A SHELL SCRIPT WRAPPER AROUND GUESTFISH
This command is just a simple shell script wrapper around the guestfish(1) "tar-out" command. For anything more complex than a trivial
copy, you are probably better off using guestfish directly.
OPTIONS
Since the shell script just passes options straight to guestfish, read guestfish(1) to see the full list of options.
