    hi all,

    in one of our servers we have a disk where the bios reports

            failure predicted (SMART)

    unfortunately this happens to be our start volume (ad0) which has
    several slices/partitions.

    At the moment the disk works (still). What is the easiest way to
    copy everything from this disk to another new one (including boot
    mgmr, mbr)

    the system has in total 3 disks, but only the first (the broken one)
    is bootable.

    thanks,
    arie
