As for backing up HD images over the network I would recommend partimage
( <a href="http://www.partimage.org/" title="partimage.org">http://www.partimage.org/</a partimage.org> )



Also sysresccd (also from the same people as partimage) has become extremely useful to me



and yes, I used to use that exact same dd and nc trick (from the same website no less!) a few years back, but if you have a lot of empty space on the partition, it will get sent as well -- partimage won't send the free space on the partition.
