Default Boot Disk To Clone SCSI HDDs

A local doctor's old Medical Manager server just took a nose dive. Crashed pretty hard. Now i need to clone the HDD to a new one and get it working. The server is so old the SCSI connectors both broke when i grabbed them. I had to replace the cable first thing. So the next thing is to clone it. I booted up our copy of Acronis here and unpleasantly, it doesn't support the drives. Does not detect. So now the issue is what software can use?

Or in short : Need to clone an SCSI drive with a boot disc, any ideas?

Try Gparted, never failed me.

EDIT: If copying partitions can be done with gparted (should be).

Drive snapshot works pretty nicely. you need to pay if its for any business related purposes but the sheer simplicity of it is pretty nice.

I'm not sure if it will copy the bootloaders with it because whenever I use it I'm not just cloning partitions but rearranging operating systems etc.

also, I use grub for my bootloader on all systems linux or not because of the versatility thereof.

If we have to pay to use it for business the company would get the bill not me.
