disk error / failure: need help! (smart failure predicted)

hi all,

in one of our servers we have a disk where the bios reports

	failure predicted (SMART)

unfortunately this happens to be our start volume (ad0) which has
several slices/partitions.

At the moment the disk works (still). What is the easiest way to
copy everything from this disk to another new one (including boot
mgmr, mbr)

the system has in total 3 disks, but only the first (the broken one)
is bootable.

thanks,
arie
