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.
