I believe it goes something like:

cd /some/input/dir
tar cvf - . | (cd /to/here; tar xvf -)

If sparse files (with unallocated "holes" in them) are involved, dump might be a better choice. I don't think tar can preserve holes. It might, however, replace long runs of zeroes with holes, which might be sufficient.
