Would this work or would I have problems:

Using dd command to backup an entire SSD containing dual boot Windows/Ubuntu partitions into an .iso file, with the intent to then dd that iso back onto the same size SSD in the case of a drive failure?

    Yes. Make sure neither are mounted.

    Use larger block sizes with bs=<like, idk, 16M> will make it go faster.
