this was done booting from internal flash.
you need to insert filesystem kernel modules, check the cloning guide. It is quite remarkable you got so far without tripping over multiple guides suggesting this ;-)

Yes, it is better to backup when booted from different device. When done with active device you may end with some extra runtime garbage in final image but it shouldn't hurt. Just keep the device quiet when doing it. Tablet is designed to recover from random reboots which may leave filesystem is similar (or worse) state. Next reboot will clean things up.
