Sure. There are a bunch of ways to do this.
You could swap out disks, mount the disk you want to copy to, and then you
can execute a variety of commands to copy the files. I think it's a personal
preference thing, though I'm sure some ways are better than others.
I've been doing
cp -av /usr /home /etc /boot /var [rest of the root dirs minus /mnt]
/mnt/new_disk
[And of course the new disk is mounted under 'new_disk']
There are probably better ways, though. :)
