tar does have one drawback that may or nay not matter to you -- it needs
somewhere to put the tarball. The obvious answer is to put it on your new, blank, drive.
It doesn't need to create a tarball file at all. By default, tar uses stdout, you need the -f option to use a file, so you can copy a partition with
tar -cl /source | tar -xC /dest/
I still prefer rsync for this though.
