I don't like the netcat idea for the lack of authentication and access
control. 

But I think I've found a working dd implementation for Windows at
http://www.chrysocome.net/dd which works with stdin. A quick test has
shown that the following does work:

cat r.bin | ssh winhost "b:\gw2_backup\dd bs=1M of=b:\gw2_backup\test.bin"

It creates test.bin where requested and its md5 is the same as that of r.bin.
