Next step - how do you clone big Amiga hard drives, RDB, partitions, and all?

On Unix, you could use the command 'dd'. Do any of the backup utilities do this?

there is dd for amiga on aminet, dunno if it works with large drives though.. maybe Quarterback does?


I guess I'll let you know :)
I have just about finished setting up a 40G drive, now I need to clone it to 4 other identical drives. I don't want to go through the drill of HDToolbox, etc, for all of them, and was hoping someone else had done this recently. I'll try the dd first, although it's not too 'Amiga'.
