[Zope] Solution for copying a site

My site is a bunch of Zope object such as DTML *, Images, Python Script,
etc.etc.
The heaviest part of it is the photos collection which is about 100 Mb if
you click Export and look at the filesize of the zexp file.
If I Export my whole site the zexp file would probably be about 105 Mb or
something like that.

Now I'd like to Export my site and 1) back up the functionality 2) take the
rest home a work on it locally
Shipping a 100 Mb file back and forth hom is not an option.
One option would be to copy the whole site inside Zope and then have a
script that removes all Photos from the copy and then Export the "emptied"
copy.
I have the script to do that, but I can't copy because the content is
probably too big and I get errors from IOError.

Does anybody have a good solution?
I'd ultimatly like to click SpecialExport and filter some object and then
wrap it up with the good old manage_exportObjects()
