    i don't know about dd.
    As for dump, i've used it locally as well as remotely
    to back up entire partitions and as long as the target partition,
    which you need to format before hand, is big enough for the actual
    data, i've never had problems.

    For me this usually looks like this:
    [root@quack ~]#mount /dev/adwhatever /mountpoint
    [root@quack ~]#cd /mountpoint
    [root@quack /mountpoint]#dump 0f - / | restore -rf -

    hope it helps :)
