Since your moving the data over to a new server/array combo have
you thought about using LTO tapes to back it up and restore it
on the new server?

I know it isn't as sexy as LVM pv duplication and such, but it
works...

If the LTO drives are too expensive why not just rent them for
this activity? You need to buy the tapes, but that's not too
much expense.
