Even for a relatively small system like that you really should have some
sort of mass storage backup system (e.g. a tape streamer). With reasonable
software you can reinitialise your partitions and restore your data without
too much trouble, and of course you have protection from disk failure and
other data loss. How much is your time worth?

If you could borrow another hard disk you could also copy your data onto
that, resize your partitions and copy it back.
