Yes, I want my 2nd (backup) HDD will able to replace the live one (not online backup). So I will not lose too much time to recover downtime.
Note if you want to use the previously cloned disk to make a newer backup for reserve that you must somehow first wipe its partition table prior to booting the openSUSE OS on the original. If you don't, you stand to be copying from the old backup over the current, which would be very bad for your data. One way you might avoid a problem in this regard would be to mount the target via USB (or possibly eSATA?) only after finishing a normal boot.
Hi Felix. My SuSE contain no data it runs just as Internet gateway. I only need a fast cure when HDD crash. I want to make sure (I think it should work) that I can clone the HDD and replace the crashed one, then system will restored. I have ever cloned HDD (but it was EXT2), and I should do some thing with GRUB. Now, I am facing with ReiserFS that I never did it yet.
