I saw something here the other day which looked similar to what I'm after, although I didn't know it at the time. What I basically want is to be able to copy one disk, to another (obviously), where the disks are on the same SCSI2 controller, and should be the same model drive (exact model not known at this time). This is for backing up to another working drive so that one can be replaced if the other one fails (or something like that). The ability to go back the other way is not necessary.
