How to clone HDD in an External HDD in ubuntu 11.04

[Dustin Oprea]

This might not be what you're looking for, but if the second hard drive is
not the same size, doing a byte-level copy with DD may not be optimal.

You might want to do a "cp -pr" (to copy recursively, along with the
permissions) or an rsync (I think "-a" should do owners, permissions,
recursivity, timestamp copy, etc..).

You can also use rsync to copy to a remote system, but you can also use
SystemImager to create a perfect copy of a hard drive or partition and
deploy it to one or many other locations (like Ghost). However, since
SystemImager is file-level and not byte-level, it easily clones to
hard-drives that aren't necessarily the same size. It also does things like
cloning the data and then changing the IP on the remote system.
