You can do an image of a drive or partition and send it across the net to another system.
dd if=/dev/hda | ssh $user@host 'gzip - > /home/user/image.gz'
or
dd if=/dev/hda1 | ssh $user@$host 'gzip - > /pub/image.gz'

A practical example:

dd if=/dev/hda | ssh terry@192.168.1.5 'gzip - > /home/terry/laptop-HD-image.gz'
