Tar/GZip & Parted

[Bob Horton]

How hard would it be to created a duplicate of a partition and tar/GZip it.

What I'm hoping to do is take a 40G drive and create a duplicate/backup of
it on another drive but I don't really want to use 40G to hold the backup
given I've only used 15G of the original 40G drive!

Additionally, if I've got 2 drives, one with all the backup partitions and
one that's absolutely clean, can Parted create the new partitions for me
directly?

Thanks.
