You mean do we have a single command to move all the data from one
arbitrary filesystem to another? No, not really. The closest thing that
exists out there is 'rsync'.

In addition, the only clients out there that I'm aware of that have
fully implemented the NFSv4 protocol for failing over would be those
based on IBM's AIX operating system.
