brute force approach...

That's probably the most safest, but you'll have to remove it before
you boot if you use lvm right?

Doesn't clonzilla support lvm? Could you boot off a live cd to only copy
actual data which should be quick in your case?

Clonezilla will handle LVMs, but I'm not sure if it is happy with cloned identifiers done disk<->disk in the same machine. It may drop back to dd for that anyway. If you have space on the network to store the image, let clonezilla copy to the network from the source box and clone it to disk on a different one. Unless the contents are extremely critical you probably don't need to clone back to a real disk anyway. That part would only take a few extra minutes when you need it.
