Depends a lot on what's on the drive, and if it can be unmounted.
When I think of cloning I think of using DD to copy the contents of each block, but
the disk needs to be idle. You can even do it with live CD.
When I want to copy a disk's contents on Linux and keep it in sync I use rsync.
What's on it, what's the copy for?
