Hi! Does the dd command do a sector by sector copying of a harddisk?
Yes. Did you read the man page? There are many options worthy of consideration, especially for faster copying.
If so then one can do a backup of for example a windows partition with a damaged bootsector?
No. Windows won't boot with a dd backup if there is more than one hard drive. I found this out from experience. You need to edit the registry before making the copy. I can't direct you further as each case and Windows version is different, so you'll have to try Google.
