Yes, but it gets more complex. You have to decide how much to put on the
first cd & then remove it with dd...

dd if=/dev/hda bs=1k count=800000 | bzip2 | nc etc.

and then the second one with
dd if=/dev/hda bs=1k skip=800000 | bzip2 | nc etc.

And then recover with
cat /cdrom/part1.bz | bzip2 -d | dd of=/dev/hda bs=1k
cat /cdrom/part2.bz | bzip2 -d | dd of=/dev/hda bs=1k seek=800000

_should_ do it, but its much more complex etc. :-|

Glad I could have been of some help :-)
