Thanks for the answer nate, I get your idea.
There are just a few odd things with it.
scp backupserver:/backup/sda7.img /dev/sda7
Works like a charm - meaning it copies the content.
cp /dev/sda7 /backup/sda7.img
Works like a charm as well.
And the research for example:
http://sammoffatt.com.au/knowledge-base-mainmenu/6-daily-linux/9-scp-and-ssh
Describes exactly this procedure - which looks like it works there.
