If you have created a backup of a disk with dd:

dd if=/dev/sdb of=image.img bs=4096

then you can create loop back devices with partitions:

losetup -f -P ./image.img 
losetup -a

then you can mount partition:

mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt/disk

Another hint: Copy files with tar so that permissions and users are persevered:

tar cf - . | (cd /destination; tar xvf -)

tar cf - . | ssh root@server2 "tar xf - -C /destination/"
