When you read via dd from sdb you'll get all the partitions within sdb including sdb1. So you shouldn't need to dd each partition separately.

For instance, I can see the following partitions in /proc/partitions: major minor #blocks name 8 16 1015560 sdb 8 17 1014785 sdb1 Do I have to dd both of the partitions? Is sdb the MBR? Thanks!
