Is it possible to set cloudagent directory to be on the ext sd card without root?

I am running Cynogen Mod 4.1.999.
I have 3 partitions on my stock 1GB microsdhc card.
I want to backup everything and move them to a new microsdhc card that I bought.
Is it possible to transfer the data in all the partitions to the new card without losing my installed apps? I have a friend who only transferred the files that he could see in Windows Explorer to the new microsd card but when he loaded it to his phone, all his apps were gone.
So is it possible to retain what I already have but on a new and larger microsd card?
Help is appreciated.
To move apps off of ext:
adb remount
adb pull system/sd/ %CD%\whateveryouwant
(this pulls everything off of the ext including dalvik which you can delete from the folder and puts it in your user directory. *C:\Users*)
to put back:
adb push %CD%\whateveryouwant /system/sd/
sdcard you just mount and put files into a folder and put them back.
it is not necessary to pull the swap partition.
Hope this helps!
make a ubuntu live cd, run it, mount sd, copy ext partition, put new card in make partitions in gparted since you are there and then copy files over, run fix permissions
simple
The easiest way to do what you're asking is to flash to Amon_RA's latest recovery. He's built-in "Backup and Restore Tool", which essentially does what Nandroid originally did and extended it to the ext partition of your SD card.
Run BART to backup your entire phone from the Recovery Console and you can then replace your SD card, partition it the way you want, and then run BART to restore your entire phone as well.
I have 3 files on my sd card that needs to be pushed to my EXT3. These files are from my old sd card.
Files are
app
app-private
dalvik-cache
They are currently on my fat32 partition of my new sd card.
What commands do I use in adb to push these files to EXT3 ?
Can you give the commands for terminal as well because with my new sdcard I can't boot into the Rom
For some reason also with my new sd card I can't boot into the rom even after a nanoid restore and reflash of the rom.
Can someone give me an explanation on the file system on i9000. Under the root folder, there is an sd card folder, and under sd card folder, there is an ext sd folder. I wonder is there any way to move app to that ext sd folder instead sd folder? Any idea thanks!

Applications that have been written to be used on external SD card can be moved here .

What would be the best way for migrating contents of the current SD card to the new bigger one?
I would copy them using a computer.
I am concerned about file permissions.
For now as I have plenty internal storage, I am considering an option to tar the files from the old SD card, and than, after formatting the new SD card, untar eventing, respecting permissions.
I have installed busybox.
Another option would be to create dd image of the old SD card, Mount it, than format the new SD card, and copy everything from mounted image back to the card.
These two are only ways to preserve file permissions, aren't they?
The sdcards are formatted as fat32, right? No problem. Simply copy everything from one card to the other, as per the first advice.

In that case, you are right, thanks.
I have put small SD card into computer and rsync-ed is contents to the temporary folder. Than I have put bigger SD card and rsync-ed back.
Everything went ok.
Thanks.
