If you need multiple version of such a disk image, a tool like restic (or I guess borg too, not sure?) can also compress what's provided to it via stdin. So you'd dd directly into restic and it will delta compress to earlier backups.

Yea; this was the heart of my 1/10/1000 question. Once? I'd probably just use dd and call it a day. 10 times? Probably download clonezilla. 1000 times? Probably automate something w/ restic and some kind of object storage layer so I don't just have a directory full of giant images/deltas somewhere.
