I have a RAID mirror (2x 160GB) which I would like to back up onto a spare 160GB drive.


I do not have a hot-swap caddy so I was planning on powering down the system to get the backup drive in and out.

But once I have the new blank drive in, what is the best way to duplicate the RAID? Ideally I would like to create a disk that could boot the system (and rebuild the RAID) in case disaster strikes.

Can dd do this?

I am new to Unix disk operations... Many thanks in advance for the help.
