cpio and gunzip or tar for cheap backup, for furthere use migrate UFS to ZFS using lucreatre, luactivate commands and in the future you can easily backup your data on remote server using ssh and zfs send, zfs receive.
Problem with ufsdump is that only Solaris knows how to read it because UFS isn't platform independent. As one more solution you can create UDF image with lofi device and then move one UDF image.

NAME
XmDropSiteRegister - A Drag and Drop function that identifies a drop site and assigns resources that specify its behavior SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/DragDrop.h> void XmDropSiteRegister (widget, arglist, argcount) Widget widget; ArgList arglist; Cardinal argcount; DESCRIPTION
XmDropSiteRegister identifies the specified widget or gadget as a drop site and sets resource values that define the drop site's behavior. The routine assigns default values to any resources that are not specified in the argument list. The toolkit generates a warning message if a drop site is registered with XmNdropSiteActivity set to XmDROP_SITE_ACTIVE and the XmNdropProc resource is NULL. If the drop site is a descendant of a widget that is registered as a drop site, the XmNdropSiteType resource of the ancestor drop site must be specified as XmDROP_SITE_COMPOSITE. The ancestor must be registered before the descendant. The drop site is stacked above all other sibling drop sites already registered. Specifies the ID of the widget to be registered. Specifies the argument list. Specifies the num- ber of attribute/value pairs in the argument list (arglist). For a complete definition of DropSite and its associated resources, see XmDropSite(3X).
