It makes no sense.

A door file is a file from DOORFS mounted on top of a usually
empty file.

If you like to make a backup from a FS, you usually first create
a snapshot and mount it. This mounted snapshot does not include
the DOOR.

If you use
star -copy ....

the DOOR file will be "archived" as DOOR but extracted as plain file.
