You can't back it up because you don't have enough space to, just ask your server host to put you a extra HD in your current Server, copy it over that way

you can copy this with scp

I'd suggest you that you set ssh protocol ver 1 because it is much faster when doing tasks like copying.

You can use rsync to copy your complete website from the old server to new one. But you should have root access to both. Below is the command:

/usr/bin/rsync -vrplogDtH -e "ssh" /path/to/source/directory [email protected]:/path/to/destination/directory

You should execute the above command from the source server and for more information for the options used, you can type:

man rsync

at command prompt. Advantage of rsync over scp is that, even if the copy fails for some reason, the next time you start, it will start from where you have left the previous time and not all over again.
