Hi,

fastest way is netcat. No compression overhead or anything else. you
can reach 12MByte/s on a 100MBit/s LAN.
on the target machine run : nc -l -p 12345 | dd of=target.img
on the source maschine run: dd if=/dev/device | nc target 12345

If you have a relly fast CPU you can also pipe it through gzip -1 on both sides.

Martin
