Rsync help!!

I got a local server here, I set it up identical to my servers at our NOC.

Hard drive 1 is hda (main)
Hard drive 2 is hdb (backup2)

I had setup rsync to copy / /usr /home /var /boot partitions to /backup2

What i expected to happen in a server crash, simply move hard drive 2 into hard drive 1's place.

Real world testing : didnt happen.

On reboot, I got "invalid boot device..." etc...so i figured I need a boot disk, made one up and still nadda

alot of errors, basically the last was a kernel panic: vfs" unable to mount root fs on 03:06

with that abound, what next. I expected rsync to save the day, but as i been testing, it wont even boot as expected.

Thanks in advance
