Not generally. Moving disks is often to get a bigger drive, in which case you want a bigger filesystem, including more inodes. Using dd and resizing (afaik) does not increase the number of inodes available. I'm typically doing this on RAID1 block devices so duplicating to a new drive (e.g. in case of drive failure) is handled by the RAID layer.
Russell, Okay. Thanks. I've no need now to move the backup, but that drive's been in use for a number of years (off during the day, on at night) and I'm thinking of being prepared for the need to replace it.
