Copying disk - dd or lucreate?

Got server that I want to have an 'image' of disk to keep in case of failure. What I want to be able to do is, in the event of disk failure, remove system disk replace with cloned disk (same slot) and reboot.

Trouble is I cant take this server down to single user.

Is dd still a viable option?

Or is lucreate better to do?
