I have multiple identical hard drives and I just dd my entire drive. Of
course, that's not a method suitable for use in a 24/7 environment.
What if you lose power in the middle of the 'dd'? In fact, what if
something changes the source filesystem in the middle of the backup.
Doing it from a rescue drive isn't a bad solution, except for having both
your source and your backup in the same machine at the same time.
