You can always make your partitions smaller and just block copy the individual partition devices. As long as you make sure the partition table stays the same, things line up.
A long time ago I used to do this to snapshot the bootblock, boot, and root partitions of some systems that had to be rebuilt frequently. Since the layout never changed, I would just dd sda and set bs and count to copy to the end of the root partitions block. As long as it was going back to the same device/block layout. recovery was just another dd call.
