Are you saying you don't have a regular backup system in place? Eek.
Anyway, there are lots of excellent backup programs around,
but if you can connect both disks at once, you could just use the old
disk as a backup and copy the stuff from there after moving system to
the new disk. Better yet if you are using LVM, just use pvmove - with
hotswap disks you could even replace the root disk without booting.
