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 at quack ~]#mount /dev/adwhatever /mountpoint
[root at quack ~]#cd /mountpoint
[root at quack /mountpoint]#dump 0f - / | restore -rf -

hope it helps :)
