That is, you are running out of RAM if you do this - /proc is only in memory.
Do it in smaller bits instead of taking a dump of everything ... back it up
partition by partition.
(or use dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 etc etc if you can find a hard disk of
similar capacity, and formatted similarly ...)
