I checked (scanned) very quickly and just to give a sense for dd & network backups here's a brief quote:

If you want to make a partition image on another machine:
on source machine:
dd if=/dev/hda bs=16065b | netcat targethost-IP 1234
on target machine:
netcat -l -p 1234 | dd of=/dev/hdc bs=16065b
Netcat is a program, available by default, on almost every linux installation. It is like a swiss army knife of networking. In the preceding example netcat and dd are piped to one another. [End quote]
and he goes on to explain more in detail how it all hooks up and works. Readers should see the link (above).
No question, though, I agree that Partimage is the way to go. And there's some logistics required doing it with dd & Netcat (see link).
Just an fyi. Now that you solved your problem, you're going to get all sorts of ex poste insights
