[NCLUG] Backup to another HDD? CD-RW issues?

[Dan Fink]

I really need to do some serious backups on my Linux box. I'm using the 
latest version of KRUD.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to make a complete, 
bootable copy of my current 40 gig HDD onto another 40 gig HDD, using 
KRUD? I have a CD-RW drive but no DVD-R, and it would take a stack of 
CDs to back everything up.

  Plus I can't get my CD-RW to work with KRUD (a whole 'nother issue -- 
it's an I/OMagic brand that does not seem compatible with Linux. Will be 
getting a Plextor soon). The I/O magic drive causes a system hang when I 
try and use gtoaster to burn backups.

I'd like to make the HDD image so I can be back up and running at work 
quickly if something breaks.

Thanks in advance
