What about this:
1st volume: dd if=/dev/hda of=/mo bs=1024 count=650000
2nd volume: dd if=/dev/hda of=/mo bs=1024 count=650000 skip=650000
3rd volume: dd if=/dev/hda of=/mo bs=1024 count=650000 skip=1300000
etc. (assuming 650 MB volumes)
OK, I know it's primitive, without compression, but at least it should work.
