If you want to mirror it, use rsync.

I usually just copy all the files from one drive to the other on the
cli with "cp /home/user/ /media/disk/backup/". I had used Konqueror in
the past, but sometimes Konqueror gets 'stuck'. I see no need for a
home user to do more than that. Of course, verify the transfer before
formatting!
