Your gzip example worked--forgot the less-than sign.
As to why I want to do this, /dev/sda is my Windows 98/dos drive and there are
programs that use an authorization key to authorize their operation. If I
tarred the partition, and then restored it, these programs won't work
because the authorization key wasn't laid down (track/sector and maybe
something else) exactly where it had been. You effectively loose a key.
