As others have suggested, use dd to copy the entire disk to an image file. We still have several clients running SCO systems, mostly OpenServer in production. The only reliable solution I've found is to run them under VMware as it emulates old hardware that's understood by SCO (e.g. SCSI disks and ancient NICs). Getting VMware to recognize these disk images is a bit of a hassle as it requires manually creating the vmdk file to describe the geometry.
