How did you make the new partition?  Did you resize your old partition 
on-the-fly without data loss?

Making tradtional backups (at least all at once!) with what I've got to work 
with seems too much trouble- as I've got over 30 gigs of data...  Though I 
guess I could make a huge tar file, and move it to another box on the lan 
(guessing that would take all day).
