This is not asked rarely. This has probably only been asked once, in some leap year during the thirteenth full moon. 2) "You need a dd that handles large files"; this is spectacularly unhelpful, as it says nothing about where to get such a dd, what's wrong with the existing dd, etc. 3) This information might be useful somewhere in the Handbook, if rewritten and generalized to explain why files can be larger than the disks that they live on: since this question is simply met with derision by many members of the -doc team, however, not to mention the FreeBSD community in general, we'll just deorbit it. 4) If we had a "Stupid FreeBSD Tricks" book, this would belong there.
