Code:

root@indigo:/# sudo umount /host-root-fssudo: unable to resolve host indigo: Name or service not knownumount: /host-root-fs: not mounted.root@indigo:/# sudo image-backupsudo: unable to resolve host indigo: Name or service not knownsudo: image-backup: command not foundroot@indigo:/# 

I don't know why you're getting "unable to resolve host indigo: Name or service not known". That doesn't occur here.

I tested the following and it works as expected here:
Keep in mind that while device-chroot is running, /dev/sdb is the filesystem in effect. The host filesystem is not in your PATH, so image-backup must be on /dev/sdb and you must access it appropriately (I had a copy of image-backup on /dev/sdb/root).

I wrote the image file created by image-backup to a new device and it booted/ran just fine.
