I used to use Linux before and anytime I'd move to a new computer I'd decide whether I should swap the hardware or do df to list devices, then: dd if=/dev/a of=/dev/b if I decided to migrate to the new storage device.

Since this experience, I'm always suspicious of Apple's approach to backing up data (and data resilience - admittedly due to some other factors involving weird interactions between iPhoto and Flickr).
