If you go this route, boot with a Live DVD and make a tarball, or use
"star" to make an SELinux aware tarball. That way, you have a copy to
store, label, and unpack into a chroot cage and edit and propagate
elsewhere, as needed.

Rsync can be efficient, but transmitting and uncompressing a tarball
is *much faster*. Put it in the swap partition temporarily, if you
need to.
