I'm glad it works for you. 

I see a point of weakness with this method. Both drives are hot all the
time. A errant power supply (power spike/lightening/fire
sprinklers/spilled cup-o-joe/...) could take out both drives.

I used to do something similar with Partition Magic, and a second drive
with it's own power switch. Turn on the second drive power switch, boot
from a floppy with PM and copy the drive. May still be vulnerable to
lightening. But the backup drive isn't hot all the time. Then I
discovered and used removable drive racks; which allowed moving
the backup to a safe location.

Always liked the full working copy instead of a restore routine.

Not to suggest it would work for T, as he was look'n for scheduled backups.
