How would you emulate cp -al ?

Hi folks,

I need to emulate the copy command with preserves file & directory
attributes and hard-links files instead of copying.

This is normally done by "cp -al"

My problem is that I want to do that on a Terastation Pro II which uses a
busybox cp command which does not support the -l option.

So I am searching for a as simple as possible solution to emulate that which
should also be as fast as possible.

How would you do that?

Many thanks in advance,
yours Henri
