Java: Slice Array To End

Question

I have a string array with at least three elements. I'd like to copy the third and all subsequent elements into a new array. How can this be most efficiently achieved?

String[] arr = {"One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five"};

String[] arr2 = Arrays.copyOfRange(arr, 2, arr.length); 
//Note third param is exclusive

If I'm reading the docs correctly, this also works when arr only has 2 elements, i.e. when arr2 would end up empty.
