I've been in the development realm almost 100% over the last 3 years, so I'm getting insanely rusty with my linux skills. Anyhow, I have a server at home where the age of the non-raid drives in it are concerning me. I think they are pushing 5 years now, and since this server isn't critical and I back it up, I'm not too worried about it. However, I'd like to throw in a larger drive or two anyhow. I use typical consumer Seagate OEM SATA drives in this machine, and I'm going to pick up a 1 TB drive over the weekend. My n00b-like question is - what is the easiest way to simply "ghost" a mirror image of one of my old drives onto a new one? In the past I've used Norton Ghost to do this in the windows world with mixed success. I know in the past with Linux I've just tar'd up a bunch of files and moved them. Please tell me there is a more modern and easy way these days :) Maybe a dd script or something, I'm not sure. Thanks in advance for any tips you can provide to the rusty guy.<br>
