[GRLUG] Partition Backup

[megadave]

Does it HAVE to be a gui?

dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc

(substituting the correct specific drive devices for your situation, of course)

You could even run this as a non-root user, give user write permission
to the specific /dev/sdX that the target drives will be on, but NOT
for the system/OS drive...
