    Acquiring a hard disk image through SSH

    Hi guys, I have two computers with linux installed. I need to take a bit-stream (bit-by-bit) image of one computer's hard disk (IP : 192.168.0.2) to the other computer (Ip: 192.168.0.196) over the network. I have the root access for both of the computers. How can I do this using 'dd' and 'ssh'? Thanks a lot.
