Documented my journey backing up my Oracle Cloud server. With their latest changes to always free, I don’t think my instance will last very long. This isn’t a tutorial, there are probably many much better ways to do this.

I’ve done similar things with ssh pipe tunneling and dd ala:
, dd if=/dev/sda | ssh user@host “dd of=/some/other/file/or/disk” ,
Should really do it while the root is ro, but in a pinch this will mostly be ok on a quiet machine.
You might be able to run rsync afterwards to spot check if you are paranoid.
If you didn’t need block level I would have suggested just using rsync or rclone.
