Is it possible to employ the same or similar mechanism to copy from drive to drive within the PC environment, or is this only possible by way of a periodic backup procedure, perhaps through cron, anacron, or another utility? I'm looking at maintaining a copy of the /home drive in the above configuration in the case of drive failure. I can always boot into system partitions with a rescue disc, but I want to be able to preserve the info on /home.
