Hi, You can use "dd" to make a complete clone of the drive, ie. dd if=/dev/wd0 of=cloned.img bs=16k. This is a sector by sector copy of the disc including the mbr and partition info. I think? You should still consider getting a tape drive so that you have more than one backup of the files. Even if the tape is across the network. I do something like that at home using some shell scripts, ssh and tar.
