[wplug] Using dd and knoppix to clone a drive

[Eicher, Scott]

I'd like to clone/backup a SCSI hard drive to an identical SCSI hard
drive. The drive contains HPFS partitions (SCO Open Server). Both drives
are connected through an Adaptec DPT PM2144W SCSI adapter. I have a
knoppix cd that I'm going to use for this. I have some questions about
this process that some of you would most likely be able to answer for
me. 

Once I get the system booted with Knoppix what is the best way to use dd
to copy the partitions from the old drive to the new? Should I copy the
partitions one at a time or the whole disk at once?

Will I be able to boot from the cloned hard drive?

Do I need to create identically sized partitions on the 2nd drive before
using dd or will dd do this during the copy?

Thanks for any assistance,
Scott
