Use the dd command in a terminal (konsole):
sudo dd if=/dev/sdg of=sdg.img
sudo dd if=/dev/sdg1 of=sdg1.img
Be careful not to mix up the if= and of= options because otherwise you
would overwrite the contents of the disk or partition.
As an extension you could gzip the images on the fly to save some space
like this:
sudo dd if=/dev/sdg | gzip >sdg.img.gz
