This is a Linux thread so I assume you want to use a Linux tool. You can do it with dd. If the hard drives are identical make and model. You can do something like dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb bs=1024k.

There are ways to do it over the network with dd and netcat. And with different sized hard drives as well. I gave you the most basic method.
