If you can't risk losing the repo contents (or in general: making the 
situation worse somehonw), yes, making a backup of the repo makes sense.

cp -a or rsync -avH are good ways to copy.

rsync is superior in case something gets interrupted because you can the 
just re-issue the same rsync command.
