like PLP said, it's all the disks on the system, your entire memory's
dump, /dev/zero and possibly other stuff that could choke the reading
process if it was not smart enough to recognize device files.

probably, but I'll take the chicken route and ask "why bother?".

if you want to make a backup, I sugest you do it with tar or dump, like
a sane human being. when you make an iso image you lose permitions, and
with -r you probably lose ownership too (good thing you don't use it),
and god knows what other disasters await you.
