Problem is, you can copy everything on a disk, but that doesn't really
replicate the disk in its original form.... e.g. file allocations can be in
different
places etc... So it's not exact. so...
replicate / make a replica of / duplicate exactly
make an exact duplicate or copy or reproducation / reproduce exactly ?
Little wonder most of it comes from genetics... It's what it's "supposed"
to be about...
