rsync won't give you a duplicate disk; it works at the filesystem level, not the block level. You want to use dd conv=sync,noerror drive1 drive2 with a large block size for that. Plz note that if you get the infile and outfile backwards with DD, it will copy the blank disk over the full one.
rsync is the wrong tool
