Hello all,

I've decided to try doing a complete system backup, attempting a bit-for-bit copy. A friend told me to try the following:

# dd if=/dev/ad4 of=/dev/ad6

Both drives are identical SATA150. Is this the best way? I'm hope to be able to do a daily/weekly backup this way, and if my primary drive fails, switch the cables and just reboot.

TIA
