I have a feeling this is a simple question:

I'm trying to get the time from a command:
time dd if=/dev/hda of=/backup/system.img > /backup/system.msg

but...  when it runs I get the output of the dd command;

soooo..... I tried to redirect again as:
time dd if=/dev/hda of=/backup/system.img > /backup/system.msg > 
/backup/system.msg

and...  no go.  Any suggestions?
