[TriLUG] HDD may be failing

[Sean Korb via TriLUG]

dd could be tricky if you have a different hard drive geometry... you could
maybe dd to an iso and mount the iso for a good stable copy.

I used rsync and some dry ice last time.  It worked pretty good but
definately use the --dry-run option if you can first.  It's a great program
which uses multiple streams for efficiency and you can get into trouble in
a hurry.
