I did something like that twice recently, but using a dd command to clone the drive. The first time it worked; the second time, I had to reinstall the boot loader on the cloned drive, after which it too worked.

Greetings, My current system is self contained (no server) with only one hard drive. I would like to extract that drive and connect it to a pc along with a second, new hard drive and clone it with something like MiniTool. The new drive would then be put into a second box with identical (or nearly identical) hardware that would then be used as a backup in case of catastrophic failure of the original box. They would not be used on the network at the same time. Will that work? I'm a Linux novice and needed quite a bit of help setting up box one in the first place, and was hoping to avoid that when setting up the backup. Thanks Jeff Clark
