Why did you boot into target disk mode? Is this needed?

We did our Imagebackups (bevore changing anything) on a running XServe:

#!/bin/sh
DMGPATH=/your/path/to/the/target/dmg/SysBackup.dmg

if [ -d $(dirname $DMGPATH) ]; then

	/usr/bin/hdiutil create 		\
			-srcfolder /		\
			-anyowners 		\
			-format UDBZ		\
			-ov $DMGPATH
        /bin/chmod 600 $DMGPATH

else
        /bin/echo "$(dirname $DMGPATH) not found! Volume mounted?"
fi

The target path is on a secondary volume only used for that. We've tested this a year ago and all went fine.
