Yes, sure. A HDD of mine got by the Debian installation 128 GPT slots of
128 bytes. So the primary GPT including "protective MBR" and GPT header
block has a size of 2 + 128 * 128 / 512 = 34 blocks of 512 bytes.
Transplanting this to a disk of sufficent size and a run of a partition
editor to recreate the GPT backup table will suffice to clone all GPT
identification opportunities of partitions.
But i rather meant "safe against unintentional duplication".
Have a nice day :)
