One way would be to initially set up the new server backup with a clientalias
setting pointing to the local copy.  Then after you have a full, remove the
clientalias or change it to the real target.

But, mv'ing the directories should work too - as long as everything is on the
same filesystem and it is done in a way that doesn't break the hardlinked files
underneath.

I used the procedure as described in the wiki, several times:

Experiment a bit with it and you'll see it can be very useful.

cheers
