	I need to read man ssh AGAIN, but I think you have to ssh to a system
that has the client sshd running with the kernel which then means it is
mounted and running.

	I today proved you can't use DD without some special characters that
tell it to use the Internet. Then the if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sda1 might work.

	I know rsync works because I use it often to back up my computer over
the Internet.
