Your dd command to backup the card will probably work. But, I don't know if the image it creates would be usable. It is an image of a disk that the OS was booted from, so there could be issues. The restore is more problematic. If you intend to do that without opening the device, it probably won't work. And it would be pointless. To run it, you would need a working device, to replace the rc5, or similar script, and start the device. Then restart it after rewriting the internal card. I'm not sure what the point would be and my feeling is that it wouldn't work. But, I am no expert of that sort of thing, so I could be wrong.
