Question on volcopy / bad block list

I was wondering if volcopy on S5R2 backs up the bad block list in addition
to everything else.  I understand that it takes a mirror image of the disk,
but it seems that if it backs up the bad block list, it is somewhat useless,
since a replaced disk would get the old disks bad block list.  I am currently
using cpio, since I like to restore selected files, but it would be nice to
have a mirror image, for various other reasons.

Thanks in advance,
