If you have space somewhere to save a backup, you can boot a
clonezilla-live CD and do a disk->image copy that will save your
current partitioning and content. It can connect to the image storage
via nfs, windows file sharing, or ssh, and it knows enough about most
filesystems including ntfs to only save the used portions of the
partitions.
