Well, I only wanted to copy the used part of the drive which I try to

thanks for the help.
Have you considered looking at Clonezilla? It does a nice job of imaging a disk and only saves the used part. It creates an image which can be restored and is bootable.
Yes, I looked at it a couple years ago, and I may well again as a
disaster recovery tool. It takes more to set up than a dd of the drive
(and xzcat compression for storage).
I *DO* want a recovery strategy in place here.
thanks
