"dd" is a much better command that "cp" for this.  See the following
for more info and a good background as to what is going on:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Disk_Cloning

The sections on "Cloning a partition" and "Cloning an entire hard
disk" are the bits you want.  Also take a look at the bit about the
MBR - useful if you want a bootable drive after the cloning if you
didn't take care of it when you created the partitions on the new
drive.
