thanks that's a good way to start if you are installing a brand new system.
But i can't afford a system reinstalltion of my primary hd.

If my primary didn't have LVM partition I would just create a RAID1 image on the backup hd. However, since the LVM partition already exists on my primary hd and since I don't want to fdisk my primary hd, I could only clone it to my backup hd and hope to mount it. The problem is simply that the cloned hd couldn't be mounted when booting from primary hd since both hd have identical volume ID fingerprint. I hope there is someway to change the id of one hd.
