I know it's for Gentoo, but i cannot see any reason why the theory wouldn't work for other distro's too.. gentoo has a thing called Stage 4, which is just a backup of the whole system, read how to make a stage 4 tarball here

dd is all good, but if you want to backup and restore to differing partition layouts, then the stage 4 setup will work a lot better as it just creates a tarball rather than an image of a partition.
