It helps a LOT to use a larger blocksize (especially when writing TO mmc you should use the same as the erase block size = 4K).
Do this:
dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/us/mmcblk0p1_5.1.1.img bs=4K
It will be less write-wear on the mmc, and it will run a lot faster.
Using the smaller default 512 byte block size for dd does a lot of unnecessary read-modify-write cycles. It is also a good idea to identify the firmware version number, and for a diags partition add "diags" to the filename, to prevent confusion when supporting multiple devices.
