There are no particular problems in doing that.
I would use cp, with the option to not enter subfilesystems
(you really do not want /proc) and options to copy everything
(e.g. extended attrs).

It will be smart to avoid running data-changing stuff
during the copy (email fetching, a running mysql).
Simply dropping to level 1 will take care of that for you.

You will just have interrupted logs in the new copy (it will
look like a crash and reboot).
