the obvious (to me, anyway), would be: how much of the stuff on there
do you need? i'm sure you can delete/copy over ssh some of the bigger
files, or uninstall some software. personally i have lots of software
installed that i got to test, and then never used again.

or are there any temp/cache/log files you can clean out? that might be
enough to bring it under 40 minutes

it should really allow you to back up the lot, but then there are lots
of things the software doesn't do yet
