DD the (unmounted) disk over to the new machine then grow the filesystem to fill the new disk is the way to go if your OS / filesystem supports growing filesystems. Failing that the way to migrate over a few weeks is to set te old server to not backuo, set the new one to start backing up and just wait. Keep the old machine around as an archive/ reference for as long as you feel it's needed and let the new one build it's own history over time.
