DD To a Smaller Partition



I have a 10 GB partition that is nowhere near full, less than 5 GB of data on it (far less).  Unfortunately, the partition I'd like to copy it to is 5 GB.  I can do "rsync -av" but normally I'd use DD.  Is there a way to copy an image of just the files from one drive to another?  For example, an intelligent DD that won't copy unused sectors, or will create an archive of just the files?


Thanks!



Hal
