Backup and restore onto different hard drive

[Ryan Ralph]

Hi everyone,

Was just wondering if someone could explain to me how the best way to go
about backing up my setup at the moment.

What I need to do is do is take a "ghost image" (windows term) of my 120gb
hard drive that ubuntu is currently installed on and then restore it onto
one of my newer 500gb drives.

I was thinking that I could try using dd, copy the backup to one of the
500gb drives, then restore it to the other 500gb drive and resize the
partition if required. This seems like it would be quite time consuming.

Does anyone know a better way? If not could someone please explain what
commands I would need to use for dd?

Thanks in advance
