Im not 100% sure about all the technicalities, but I know the program
FSArchiver might be able to do something like this. Its similar to
clonezilla in the sense that it can copy / backup a partition, but instead
of working on the block level it works at a filesystem level. This allows it
to move data from an existing partition to not a only a different sized
partition on another disk, but also to a new partition that uses a different
filesystem to the original partition. It states it can backup grup as well.

check it out at http://www.fsarchiver.org/Main_Page

It also comes packaged on the UltimateBootCd as they mention on theor
website.

Hope this helps...good luck!

Cheers

Josh
