I don't like using any more storage space than necessary for backups, so I would use an app that makes a compressed image of the entire HD instead of DD (DFSee, but likely there's some FOSS that could do the same).
I beleive it's possible to run dd through gzip to compress the data.
Man dd shows nothing on "compres" or "zip". You can compress the resulting image later, of course. I have a compression procedure using zisofs when burning such images to several DVDs, but it is rather involved. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
