Good suggestion, no it's not ESX, but it does do snapshots.

You're not running esx are you?
Heh, I just did the same thing on a much smaller scale. Couldn't afford the 
long downtime while a copy took place so I shut the vm's off, snapped it and 
restarted it. I then scripted all files "without" 00000 in the name to rsync 
over (ssssslowly). I then only had to shut the vm off and sync the small snap's 
and restart the vm's on other storage. Only took a few minutes.
