I think you should be able to just tar up _darcs. To restore, you can  
either untar it into a new directory and 'darcs get' it, or run  
'darcs revert' to regenerate the working files. I'm not completely  
confident about this, though, so it would be best to wait for  
confirmation from others before implementing it.
