I have a question regarding the script you sent me: >#!/bin/sh >#copy drive1 to drive 2 >/bin/cp -R /export/home1/. /export/home2 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/backup.log Wouldn't it just do the filesystem copy? I think it expects all the slices to be either already set up on the second drive, or it just copies it into one giant slice. It also doesn't preserve boot record, and I am not sure how it would treat devices... What I want is a true bit by bit mirror of the entire first drive... Can anyone suggest something that would do it?
