Do you have tried to gzip your current installation?
How big is it? It seems you have not very much installed...
Maybe it will be a tar.gz of around 100 MByte using:
----8<-----------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
BACKUPDIR=/home/BACKUPS
DATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
TMP_FILE=`mktemp -t tdsysbackup-XXXXXX`
echo "/Backups/*
Chroot*
cdrom/*
dvd/*
floppy/*
home/*
lost+found
media/*/*
mnt/*
proc/*
sys/*
tmp/*
usr/src/*
var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
zip/*" >>${TMP_FILE}
mkdir -p ${BACKUPDIR}
tar --verbose --create --ignore-case --gzip --totals \
--exclude-from=${TMP_FILE} \
--file ${BACKUPDIR}/${DATE}.tar.gz / \ 1>${BACKUPDIR}/${DATE}.log
2>${BACKUPDIR}/${DATE}.err
rm -f ${TMP_FILE}
md5sum ${BACKUPDIR}/${DATE}.* |sed "s,${BACKUPDIR}/,,g"
>${BACKUPDIR}/${DATE}.md5

I run this even on a running system! If you have directories which
you want to exclude, add it to the list above.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
