I would write an image from the partitions. If you have no 'spare' disks in the computer, or only one partition you have to mount a remote drive directly, like USB, Samba, or similar.
A backup is easily done with dd, for example: dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=1M | gzip -c9 > /media/usbdrive/sda1.bin.gz
Or you can use partimage (google for that name) in order to create/restore images of your partitions.
