Howdy Alex,
If you use ide try to have the setup as follows.
First drive ( the one you want to copy ) the primary master ( /dev/hda
)
Second drive ( the one you want to copy too ) the secondary master (
/dev/hdc).
I think I might have mislead you a bit though, it is not exactly a mirror
system ( such as novell's mirroring ) but does create an exact duplicate
of the first drive. The drives should be the same as well ie 2 x 20gig
or 2x 40gig etc.
You also need to be aware that it takes a goodish time to complete. I run
it as acron job in the wee small hours.

Howdy,
I have used successfully the dd command.
Ie dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb if using scsi or
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc if using ide.
Note the drive in the ide config are on different buses.
