I just backed up all the stuff, removed the ext card (just to be sure because of the crazy SD numeration), cloned and then copied stuff back. 1.5GB is about right, depending of how much you want to put aside for the FAT part (or maybe swap).

Is an internal backup sufficient or should I transfer it to my backup server?
Always better to have a backup physically outside of the unit. Gremlins never sleep.

Another problem/question. After all this I have done, installing qt4 and keepassx as well as moving /var/cache/apt to /media/mmc2 and symlinking it, I notice an added degree of slowness on my tablet. Among other things,
Is this a result of moving /var/log/apt? Or a result of qt4 being installed? Something else?
Don't think so, none of those use the apt dir AFAIK. For me (might be placebo) the cloned system seemed faster. I burned myself with softlinks, so have no speed related experience with them.
