A big thanks to everyone for all the help.  I ended up using the command 
line tool BackupPC_tarCreate.  I then copied the large tar file over 
using ftp and then expanded it.  I could not get the direct restore to 
work from the web interface.  For some reason it was slow and would 
never complete.  It would work fine for a few folders but would not do 
the entire backup at once.  I tried letting it run all night.  When 
expanding the tar file I added >>log.txt to the end and then from 
another command prompt I did a "watch tail log.txt" so that I could see 
what was going on.   I don't think I lost any data.  I had to manually 
create the Junk and Trash mail folders for my users because I exclude 
them from my backups and my mail program would not create them 
automatically.  I have a little bash script which did this very quickly 
once I found out it was an issue.  I think if I could have temporarily 
attached my new drive to the backup machine I could have sped things up 
further but using the tar file and ftp was fairly quick.

**Thank goodness I had my backups created with backuppc!  It even 
captured my mysql database which is always running.  What a great program!

Thanks again!
