Converting ext3->XFS

[Tom Badran <tb100@doc.ic.ac.uk>]

I would like to convert my disks to use the XFS filesystem (im writing 
software at work that uses features only xfs provides). They are currently 
ext3 (two large partitions with decent amount of free space). How can i back 
up a partitions data so that i dont lose file permissions etc, so that i can 
reformat them as xfs, and then restore the data on to them?

Thanks

Tom
