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.
