I also think it would work. If you are in a hurry, don't try to copy the files, it will take a long time, and you will have to stop doing backups during this time. I had a problem with a disk in a LVM last week, I had something like 120GB of data in the backuppc pool, and it took almost 4 days to copy everything to another disk. Of course, one of my disks had some errors which slows the copy, but most of the time was spent for re-creating the hard links.
