Clone a bootable hard disk the easy way

Hook the, to be backuped Mac(1) in Target Disk Mode (start it up with the 'T' key held down) with a FireWire cable to the second Mac(2). Select in Disk Utility on the Mac(2) the volume of the new hdd and use the Restore tab, drag and drop the old drive from the Mac(1) as the source, and the new one as the target, and press the button.

You can also use software like SuperDuper, but it failed with my attempts to clone a hdd and keep it bootable.
