Alternatives would be to have two such backup devices, and configure 
them, as andy liebman wrote:

May I say belatedly (I've been flat out since July 1) that if I were 
making a significant number of these clones, I'd write a script so that 
I could clone one drive, drop it in another machine, and let the script 
run on the other machine to finish the job. I have no idea how many of 
these you are doing, but automation is nice to avoid finger checks.
