Burn a DBAN disk. Shutdown, pull out the drive you want to keep. Boot to the dban disk, when prompted type autonuke, wait for the process to complete. Shutdown, reinsert the centos drive you wanted to keep. You will now have your centos main drive, and a blank backup disk. You'll need to run mkfs on the blank drive. Then mount it where you want it.

Hi.
I have a CentOS server (a Dell 860) with two drives in it.
One is running CentOS 6.4 which I want to keep & the bigger 400GB drive
has Debian 7 on it which I want to erase & use for backups.
Which is the best way to go about achieving my intended goal? The Debian drive is not mounted when Centos is booted.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Phil...
