RE: duplicate/clone an xbian installation
I can confirm, doing an offline backup using DD on Mac OSX or using USBIT on Windows works perfectly.
The only problem is that SD cards have different sizes. Not just 4, 8, 16GB. I have installed 4 RPis all with ICIDU 20MB/s class 10 4GB. But mine is 3.97GB, another one is 4.01GB, another 4.04GB and finally 3.99GB.
So the image of 4.04GB won't fit on the other ones. I use 3.97GB myself so I use mine as the original, fits on all others.

edit: after reading Fred's post and link I will definitely try rsync. Although creating a backup on the device I want to backup just sounds wrong to me (especially after reading mk01's comment above that post "after one run, run it one more time to copy changes from time during the copy and you are ready.")

But it would result in a smaller image (I think) that would fit on any other 4GB SD card and also, less of a hassle shutting down my RPi and putting the SD in a laptop.. Im lazy.
