resource forks still a problem

You are right and thanks to to mention it: this technique is only for data (software installers can be copied in some cases, like if they are inside a .dmg for example).

It is not intended for systems, but it will backup databases as long as you issue a stop database beforehand.

If you want to backup your system, you must boot from a separate partition and create a .dmg with disk copy or use dd to output the appropriate /dev in raw mode into a file.
