<div>Maybe best bet is to just buy a second drive. If all possible try to buy same manufacture/model/storage. I use "dd" to back up from one drive to the other.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>So my setup..</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Master Drive (hda)</div>
<div>/dev/hda1 /</div>
<div>/dev/hda2 swap</div>
<div>/dev/hda3 /video</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Slave Drive (hdb)</div>
<div>/dev/hdb1 /</div>
<div>/dev/hdb2 swap</div>
<div>/dev/hdb3 /video</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I want to do a full back up on my primary drive I issue this command,</div>
<div>dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb</div>
<div> </div>
<div>That takes about 3.5 hrs for a 120 GB drive.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If I just want to backup my / partition I do this.</div>
<div>dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1</div>
<div>Only takes about 15min.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then If my hda drive ever gets hosed I can just swap master/slave disks and be up in running again. <br><br> </div>
