If you have usb-storage available, these is what I have done
- include strace in initramfs,
- change in init 'exec busybox init' by 'exec busybox /bin/ash'
Then you could manually insmod usb-storage, mount an usb key and write
there.
I had no file system issue. It may still be possible with no fs available, a
bit more exotic.

If you are not able to load ext2 or another file system, you could write to
the entire raw device.
tar know to do that.
