use dd it is fast and easy.
for example
2.1gb disk to another 2.1gb disk
dd if=/dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s2 of=/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2 bs=1024k
should copy the current root disk which is target 3 onto the second disk
which is target 1.

1. duplicating disk partition RH Linux v7.2
I have a server running a RH Linux v7.2 which has been freshly installed
and configed and is now ready for production but, before cutting it over
to the live network I would like to make a duplicate disk image copy of
the entire system so I can easily restore things back to its newly
installed state if disaster strikes. So am wondering whats the best way
to make a duplicate copy of my RH Linux system?
TIA,
