how do you clone an audio drive?

Topic says it all. I'm switching audio drives in my computer and i want to clone the info on drive 1 and move that info to the new hard drive.

thank you in advance

What platform are you on?

I use Cubase, and to backup a project, I just drag the whole folder to another drive, prety simple.

I don't know if there's anything tricky under windows (I'm on OS X), or with other apps, but I'd be surprised.

If you jsut want to clone the whole drive in one fell swoop, there are programs out there for doing just that. I use Carbon Copy Cloner, which is a shareware app for mac.

i'm using OSX. thanks. i wasn't sure if disk utility could do it.
i'll check out Carbon Copy Cloner.

If it is an audio drive with no OS on it, why clone?
You are better off copying the data to a freshly formatted drive- less fragmentation- unless you are defragging the drive first.

sorry. not an audio drive. it's the main drive with all the apps, plug-ins, etc.

i found this link http://www.macinstruct.com/node/147

it does it in a few short steps.
