What about buying a removable ide drive bay ($40) and a 200GB ide drive
(~$120). Make partitions on it of the size of your scsi drive
partitions. Then use dd to copy it over. Then if the scsi drives get
borked/crash just use Toms Root Boot (which has fdisk, dd, mke2fs,
mkswap) to copy things back onto new scsi drives. After this you may
have to use Knoppix to run grub/lilo to setup the master boot record.
