An often suggested method is using dd and growing the filesystem
afterwards. This will probably be a lot faster as dd doesn't need to
know anything about the file structure and things like hardlinks.
Or do as I do: just setup your new server, disable backups on the old
one wait until the new server has run enough backup runs and then
shutdown the old server.
