I'm running INN1.4unoff4 on freebsd2.1.5
Sometimes I get a error saying / filesystem full, when I run news.daily

The system software and inn software are on a 850Meg ide harddrive.

I want to replace the 850Meg with a 2gig scsi harddrive.

Is there  an easy way to backup all the filesystems(/,/usr,/var) on the 
850Meg hardrive to a 2gig (scsi) harddrive and boot from the 2gig.

Any help would be appreciated

thanks
