Hi, I am setting up a system running 4.3-RELEASE. This system will have two IDE drives, each being about 30G. I would like to write a cron jobs to copy all of the filesystems from the first physical drive to the second one every night. I want to make sure the second drive is an exact duplicate of the first, so in case of a crash, I can make the second drive the master and boot off of it. That is the best tool to use for this? tar? cpio? dump? dd? I will probably have 3 filesystems and a swap partition on the first drive. I know a raid controller with do this for me, but I prefer to keep the hardware are simple as possible, mostly for reliability reasons. Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
