Kindle 3 FS Image?

Anyone have some information about how to image the entire Kindle over ssh? I am able to dd over ssh just fine, but dd doesn't work on directories. I want everything from / up.

Here is the command I use for dd over ssh:

ssh root@myk.ind.les.IP "dd if=/dev/mmcblk0*" | dd of=/home/username/image.dd bs=1024


Ideally I'll be able to do this directly from a Windows machine eventually (I've tried using a variety of methods, eg PuTTY and WinSCP, problem is that dd isn't a Windows command so it can't output correctly). Currently I'm working with Ubuntu in a VM then just copying the image file wherever I need in Windows.

Any information about imaging an entire Linux machine, FS and all, from Windows or Linux would be great, thanks!
