I want to produce an image of the installed system for cloning, thus my 
syntax,
from a basic level, is correct.    The source is /dev/sda and has a couple
partitions.   The destination is a remote Windows share.

I have ample storage space on the remote share for the image to be created.

Thanks for any further insights/help.
