I'm a bit curious why it needs to be bootable.  You could rsync the
data and rely on a standard live CD or USB key for the "bootable" bit.
That would get you up and running just as quickly, the only
disadvantage being that your replacement computer would need 2 x USB
ports or 1 x USB + 1 x CD drive, which let's face it is not that much
of a limitation.
