Pretty much any backup utility (tar, cpio, bru, etc.) can use any media as
the backup device, including another disk drive. Keep in mind that Linux
still has (AFAIK) a 2Gb file size limitation, which could present a problem
if you're backing up a lot of data. If this is the case, you may have to
backup your filesystems in sections.
I'd also recommend against backing up to a disk drive in the same server,
unless the hard disk happens to be of the removable kind (Zip, Jaz, etc.)
