Shrinking a filesystem (resize2fs) does have some risks so backup first.

It is sort of nice to leave modest unused space when setting up a new disk.

Also back up to the new disk formatted correctly then invert the question and
add the old disk with matched size partitions to mirror to.

It all depends on the backup strategy. Clonezilla?

If they are the same size or the backup disk is larger, I'd just use dd on an unmounted filesystem!
