Down and dirty dump

I have a need to move my RHEL4 computer across the country.  I am
driving with it, and currently I have not set up a backup process. I
would like to maybe do a dump just as a precaution.  I have two 200 GIG
HD's on the system, the second one is not in use at the moment, but I
can mount it no problem.

Can someone give me a command line to dump one drive to another? Assume
the first drive is SDA, and the second one to dump to is SDB?  I guess
the other question is does the LV on SDA get copied as well?

I know there is a man page on dump, but I must not be typing the command
correctly, so once I have the command to type, I can re-look up the man
pages and see what it all means.


Thanks
