I have been doing that for about two years now. Works great! It's just like 
dd, only faster and more space efficient. However you can only dump 
partitions, not the whole disk, so I also save the output of fdisk -l, so I 
can recreate the partition table in case of disaster. Booting a live cd and 
using restore is quite easy if I need to.
