I wouldn't expect your task not to work but just remember that if your restoring you probably want to take out the first disk and end up resyncing on the other after power up or your going to format your backup and make it useless.
Sorry I'm not up on my U.k shops but seagate has been upping ad's in the U.S. so I'd think to check their homepage for sales or so far my recommendation for Western Digital Drives with a collection of them always on amazon (since it does have an "I found a better price" link on each item).
Kinda disappointed* though the jedi/admins didn't chip in about that not being a really good option and chime in with replicate ad's and links to faq for recommended backup source/destination disks. I know there's probably more safer ways to make a backup like when you do a factory default but I can't think right now (there covered I think in yoda or chirpa's signature[I think].
