So, not long ago my pi crashed and I had to completely rebuild the server. I elected to use my NVMe drive which is 1TB. I thought I'd partitioned it in a way where I set up 32GB for `/` but in my haste to get the server back up and running apparently I didn't. Ouch. Now it's its all set up and settled in. I need to back it up. Previously I'd just use `dd` to image it but having a 1TB image for a root folder thats only 32GB in size is ugly as hell. That said, how can I maintain a backup of this without a) having the backup be exceedingly huge and b) having to redo the whole thing again with the proper partitioning scheme?
