Yes. dd can pick up partition information for this reason. dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc bs=512 will transfer across the partitions and the master boot record. It's not clear what it will do if source is the hardware raid system he's using. In my case, I'm slowly shrinking my Window$ paritions, so need to bring across the partition info in my backup.
