Why using such an advanced tool for a simple copy?

Run a Linux from a live media and simply do a

  sudo cp -a /from/source/mountpoint /to/target/mountpoint

It doesn't matter, don't confuse the copy (or any sync) command, with
something like the dd command.

Since you don't migrate to other hardware, appart from the drive, you
even don't need to fix a graphics driver or something like that, you
only need to reinstall the bootloader after coping all files.
