Two thoughts:

  1. Since this is a network connected drive (Sharity-light or Samba) you may have filesize limitations. If so, you could use split(1) to divide your image into multiple files in the destination filesystem. e.g.:

    # mkdir -p /nt_1/myopenbsd_image# cd /nt_1/myopenbsd_image# dd if=/dev/rwd0c | gzip | split -b 1024m image.gz
  2. How will you restore your image to the disk?
