Thanks for your answer.
I can mount all the partitions (ubuntu via the
mount_ext2fs command).
So, I could use DD, but then I would have to do this
every time I want to be synchronized.
This would be the firts thing I could try, when the
disk drive arrives. Then I would know I have at least
a copy of the full disk.
Hmm, I have to think this over, but nice knowing this
is an option.

I waant to use this extra drive as a backupsolution.
What options do I have?
Dump is an excellent solution if you can mount all
partitions
(see
for details on using dump)http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=dd&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.1-RELEASE&format=html
DD would be another option that would copy the
entire hard drive sector
by sector, regardless of the partitions. If you are
interested in
basically a "mirror" sort of situation without
running RAID, dd is what
you are looking for.
dd doesn't care what the partitions are, indeed you
could even backup
Microsoft partitions with it.
basically:
dd if=/dev/sourcedisk of=/dev/backupdisk bs=1m
