How to mirror a harddisk for backup purpose

[Kwan Wing Keung]

Dear Netters,

I want to backup an entire LINUX harddisk to another identical harddisk.
Some colleagues suggested that I may consider the "dd" command.
I read the manpage but I can't find any clue.  Any expert advise please?

Thanks in advance
