Follow-up:

Picked up a Seagate 250 Gb drive at Circuit City last night for $135.  
Tested it out on my laptop last night:

1. Boot Knoppix with 'knoppix 2' for root shell only.
2. Mount the external drive, run partimage
3. 7.5 Gb partition compressed with medium compression and saved to  
the drive: 35 minutes.

Looks like this could be practical.
