I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but...
hard drives are getting really inexpensive. I've seen 200-250 gig
drives advertised for US$100 or less. Buy one of those babies and
use it as a nightly backup. Or partition it with LVM the way you want
and use it, then either retire the existing one to the "spares"
category, or use IT as a nightly backup device.
