mount the backup partition ( disk or just another partition ).
'cd' to the mount point
run 'tar clzf backup_file.tar.gz /'
this will make a backup of all the disk.
mind that you will have to load the system (after you replaced the disks) from a rescue cd. create a file system on the new disk and mount it. mount the partition that has the file backup_file.tar.gz, and then run 'tar xvzf backup_file.tar.gz -C /mount/point/of/the/new/disk'
then you will have to install again grub or lilo to the mbr.

Kfir
