Clone Linux Hard Drives

Thanks to the live distributions out there, cloning Linux hard drives is much easier these days. I am leaving dump behind and just using Ubuntu to clone them.

That's the command to copy sda to sdb. Notice that large hard drives will take a while. My 250G drive took about 6 hours.
