unluckly I can't. it's a 160 GiB partition and I don't have spare
space.
How much spare space do you have? You may be able to do some tricks
with dm_snapshot...
right now, I have 45 MiB of space in my spare disk. I *could*
(should?) make more space, but can't guarrantee anythung.
That won't be enough. Worst case, decide whether the data on that 160
gig partition is worth buying a cheap 200 or 300 gig drive for this backup.
