I followed a similar path and eventually found esata + USB 2 hubs, esata is quicker http://www.cclonline.com/product/85436/U...n/HDD3472/
I also got one of these for my desktop http://www.cclonline.com/product/61580/P...1/CNT0085/
From your OP
You have to exclude the "data" folder but leave the symlinks
I managed to tweak the script so that it added the "data" folder back into the clone and also added the fstab line to mount the data partition so when you boot into it everything "works"
The Yad script was written for Debian Squeeze but still works on Wheezy and LL which uses systemd bits so I'm thinking it will still work on Jessie.
Using a backup partition rather than a backup file might seem strange but with a hub it works well, you can boot into it and know it works unlike a backup file.
If you want to give saline-backup a try I'll post more details friend, I think there's only one dependency needed "squashfs-tools"
