[rsnapshot-discuss] Moving a rsnapshot repositary to new disk

We need a bigger repository, disk getting full.

I have reread a thread form last year and see that there is no clear way
of moving an existing repository to a new disk to insure everything is
exactly the same as the original, considering hardlinks etc.

Is there any _*definitive*_ recommendation?
rsnapshot_copy /source /destination ?

Thanks!

Last time I needed to do this I used rsync -aSH.

Just because it is possible to do this sort of thing
in the English language doesn't mean it should be done
