You can run a DD command from within the receiving machine, using the IP address of your server and connecting to the now SSH-able Linode to receive the content.
I realize this is an old discussion, but hoping someone is still watching this thread. Is the single user mode / rescue mode necessary or can you download your image off of a live system?
@louiskabo You'll need to have the Linode in Rescue Mode. You can follow the exact steps which are outlined in the guide below.
