Do you know why specifically it may not be the best way to export vectors

going to has the same projection and datum, can't it be dragged and dropped?

My concern is that there may be some other, necessary, information outside the 'vector' directory. In 'dbf', for example.
An export-procedure should take care of those as well, while just tarring the content of 'vector' does not.
