Wow, great hint. This is going to go to good use. Thanks!
Somehow I thought that was what the menu item Images -> Scan Image for Restore always did... but I suppose there has been at least one occasion where this may have actually been what I needed.

Happily, I've never found myself in a position where I needed to restore my backup image files, (made with Carbon Copy Cloner.) But I'd like to know the routine if I ever need to use it.
My question: since I back up separate partitions into separate disk image files, is this hint inapplicable to me? Does this hint only apply to backing up multiple partitions into a single disk image?
(I had no idea it was even possible to backup multiple partitions to a single disk image...)
This is great. I was getting real frustrated with Disk Utility's non-specific error messages. This worked just like you said it would.
Great post. However, when I tried this I got a 'Resource busy' error.
In order to avoid this problem, you have to make sure the mac OS isn't 'using' the device first. To do this just open the DiskUtility.app, and on the target USB hard drive, unmount any of it's partitions. Make sure to not eject the USB hard drive so that the device is still available in DiskUtility and shows up in the result from 'diskutil list'.
Many thanks to you and daveosborne for your hints !
1) I'm currently dumping the content of a .dmg file to an external disk.
2) 'with an appropriate buffer size to copy over the whole block image, including partition table and boot sector'
-> what do you mean by that and how can I determine which buffer size is appropriate ?
-> how did you determine the 131072 size ?
For my use I trusted blindly the example and used the bs=131072 option. Untill now it seems to be working... (it's still copying).
I'm currenlty getting tons of lines on my terminal screen that look like :
...
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: src 0x02E4AA97 srcLen 116073
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: dest 0x02E26000 destLen 262144
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: src 0x02E61F0D srcLen 20723
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: dest 0x02E26000 destLen 262144
...
with sometimes long series of
...
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: src 0x02E66B71 srcLen 1167
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: dest 0x02E26000 destLen 262144
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: src 0x02E66B71 srcLen 1167
CZlibDecompressor::decompressData: dest 0x02E26000 destLen 262144
...
I notice the destLen (I suppose it means block destination length) 262144 is exactly the double of the bs=131072 that was used before. I'm curious if anyone can help me understand this. Does this mean the source data is sparsed over the destination disk by blocks of 131072 or 262144 bytes, thereby fragmenting the disk ?
In your replies, please kindly take into account that I'm a French newbie with a fair level of ignorance of OSX command line technical slang, however not completely ignorant with computers either (one piece of paper even says I'm an engineer :), it's just that I don't understand what the buffer size technically means here.
Many thanks in advance for your insights !

How to Recover Deleted DMG Files on Mac
'Hi, I have accidentally deleted a couple of DMGs that I would like to get them back. I have dragged them to Trash and emptied the Trash. It seems impossible to restore the DMG files. What can I do to retrieve the lost DMG files?'
Apple Disk Images are files (usually with the .DMG extension) which the Mac OS X operating system uses to store disk images, with optional data compression and encryption. Such images can be mounted as volumes to access stored data directly from the operating system. DMG files are mostly used for software distribution over the Internet, but Mac OS X users can create images of their own disks.
While data loss happens every, DMG files are no exception. And sometimes data recovery from such images is required. This brief article explains how to use Mac data recovery software for this task.
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac
This mac drive recovery tool completely scans the Mac hard drive to locate and recover DMG files that are deleted accidentally or due to any other reason. It enables you to recover deleted, lost, or formatted files with no effort at all. Three simple steps are enough to restore deleted data even from emptied the Trash. The earlier you use, the greater the chance is to recover. Other beneficial features of the DMG file recovery program:

How to Fix the Corrupted DMG Files
What if the DMG files are corrupted? How to fix them? Unfortunately, when the corruption happens there may be little you can do to reverse it. However, there are a few things you can try.
Step One: Back up
Before trying to fix a corrupt disk image, make a copy of it. While you may be able to fix a damaged image, it is also possible that these suggestions may further corrupt it, so be sure to work from a copy.

Step Two: Use Disk Utility
Disk Utility has several routines you can use to try to clear the problem. Open the program and drag the disk image copy into the devices list. Then select it and in the 'First Aid' tab run a disk verification. If any problems are found, try repairing the image.
If the problem still exists, you can try resizing the image. For resizing, you might try the options for resizing just the partition, just the image, or both the image and partition since these will target different parts of the image structure.
Step Three: Mount the Images
Sometimes the problem is with the disk image mounter not being able to handle the image structure. You might try mounting the image when booted into Safe Mode (holding Shift at start-up). You can also try mounting the image in another operating system. Many times the utilities built to enable Mac compatibility in Linux and Windows use methods for mounting or converting a filesystem that may be more successful at getting a filesystem mounted than the ones Apple provides.
