Subject:   how can I copy wd0 to wd1

I have two identical 1G ide drives, wd0, wd1.  I want
to back up all of wd0 to wd1 periodically, say nightly.

When I tried:

dd if=/dev/rdw0c of=/dev/rdw1c bs=some chunks here

I was told:

dd: /dev/rwd1c: Read-only file system

Why is this and what might be the best way of doing this anyway?
I want wd1 to end up as a clone of wd0 in case of a crash.
