I usually use dd and ssh to clone disks from one machine to another,

Is there any easy way to do it from a 13% filled 60GB disk to a
remote disk that's only 16GB?
Obviously dd won't work...
You can use:
dd if=/dev/sda1 | gzip > some_file.img.gz
This compress the image on the fly.
True, but when extracted it will still be a bit-by-bit copy of the
source disk and will occupy the original space. Partition table would be
wrong etc.
What I'm looking at is to move fully operational system to another
machine with small system disk.
