I suggest using rsync to do this. It's a great tool and secure as well depending on how you set it up. Have a look.

Hi all,

I am looking to mirror mulptiple disks from a single source. I have 
thought about using 'dd' but I can't find anything telling yea or neh if 
this will work:

'dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdd'

Would this work? If not, can anyone recommend an effective way to 
mirrow a disk when the hard drives are identical (so partitions don't 
need to be resized)? Thanks all!

Madison
