[OM] Cloning alternative [was File losses]

I recently got a USB 3.0 dual HD/SSD toaster. <http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IKAQ538/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1>

It has an interesting extra feature. It will clone from one drive to the other internally, without needing any software on the computer or sending any files externally.

I've not tried that yet, but will soon. I've accumulated way too much various 'stuff' on a single 1TB WD Mybook that I got a a garage sale for $5. It likes to save energy by going to sleep, and requiring manual intervention to wake it up. And then, I don't have any regular back-up for it.

So I've dropped a spare pair of 1.5TB naked drives in it. The half TB from the WD is being copied across. When that's done, I'll test the cloning function to create the back-up. Of course, the WD fell asleep during the copy process ...
