Create a mount point and mount /dev/hdbX (where x is the partition #)
Then use tar or some other backup utility. to the harddrive.
Then unmount the drive, if you don't need it for anything.

Hello,

I am trying to back up data from a master HD (hda)
to a slave HD (hdb).
I could see there is a secondary HD (hdb), but I don't
know how to access the hdb and transfer data to it.
Would please give me a idea ?

Thanks in advance,
