copy partition from a remote server

[BAGI Akos <abagi@compuflex.hu>]

Hi List!

The problem is the following:

The remote machine (sarge) has a hdd with 5GB data.
It's accessible via ssh over the web.
I want to make a partition backup from it to a hdd in my office
to be able to replace the remote hdd with the backup one if the remote 
hdd crashes (and no other installation is required).
I know that dd can do it locally.
But how to backup the hdd image remotely?
Bandwith is no problem ( for me :) )

			Thanx in advance
