If I install xbian and then I personalize it for my needs I'd like to have a copy of all the system to restore. I thought that dd'ing the whole sd would be the fastest way: in case of sd corruption I could take the sd card, put it in the card reader on my mac and dd on it the image backup. 10 minutes up and running.
am i wrong?
i'm open to learn some way to have that.

yes sure this would be the best and easiest way to do so.
So what stopping you to do it this way? I see you trying to do it the automated way but to be honest I dont see a point to complicate the life with this. How many backups do you really need ? I dont do it personally as I do the strange testing things all the time but for average user once a week should be just enough, so it should not be that much hassle just shut it down, plug the card to computer and do the backup
