Tim.  Consider using the 'dd' utility to save a copy of your disk image to
an NFS shared drive or something.  If your harddrive isn't too large, you
should be able to save the whole thing to another server, and compress it
down.  Then you'd be able to wipe your harddrive out and use it again
while retaining a copy of the "evidence."

# mount -t nfs host:/<directory> /mnt/nfs-dir rsize=8192,wsize=8192,soft
# dd if=/dev/<device> of=/mnt/nfs-dir/hd-image-<date>.bin bs=512 ; sync
# gzip -9 /mnt/nfs-dir/hd-image-<date>.bin

violla. ;-)
