Rsync & /dev

Can anyone advise me whether rsync can sync devices as opposed to
filesystems.

I have a set of disk partitions that contain a foreign file system not
listed in fdisk and I would like to sync them so I need to do something
like:
	rsync /dev/hda1 /dev/hdc1
where both hda1 and hdc1 will be foreign filesystems.

Is this possible?

Alternatively would dd do it for me?
