The following is based on server to server move.
Linux / Unix system w/ file chunk sizes of 500MB each using SSH...

---------------------------

Moving a huge site....

tar the file with:
nohup nice tar -cf /foo.bu.tar /fooSource &

split the file into 500MB chunks with:
nohup nice split --line-bytes=500m foo.tar.gz foo_ &

command to move example: rsync -a -p -e ssh /home/temp1/#of-file-here easy1@INSERT-IP-ADDRESS-HERE:/home/easy1/temp

in new server go to /home/temp1/temp (files location) then you'll see # of folders.
move all files into one folder with FTP client or however u like.

rejoin the file with:
nohup nice cat foo_a* > foo_FULL.tar.gz &

THEN UNZIP / UNTAR / RESTORE
---------------------------

Good luck with it
