Inside the folder I see the following files:

| log.*

It's not quite as simple as *copy*, especially if the server you are
copying from is running.

We have some scripts in Mandrake to make this easier, you may want to
try them (but I have actually refactored them for a client - running Red
Hat - and hope to update the Mandrake packages with these in the next
few days).
