What's the damned Linux command people use to copy a partition (or entire drive) to another, as Ghost does? And does it work with NTFS volumes?

I forgot it and I need it. That, or another way to copy a NTFS partition to another. Ghost/DriveCopy/Partition Magic out of question. I don't have my softwares with me and they are 300Km away... I'm trying to copy a drive (that is dying) to another, until the replacement unit arrives. You guess it, I'm in the brown.

dd if=/dev/source of=/dev/target

man dd for blocksize, etc options and make sure you use the proper devices
