using a disk "mirrored" with dd

I have a machine running 4.10-RELEASE-p2 with two identical hard disks
-- ad0 and ad2. I would like to make a complete copy of the first disk
to the second disk nightly for quick disaster recovery.
I've dd'ed the disk as follows
# dd if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/ad2
and edited the disklabel of the second disk to change ad0s1 to ad2s1 as follows
# disklabel -e -r ad2
However, I'm still unable to mount the root partion (or any other
partition) of the second disk to tweak /etc/fstab etc. even though
# mount /dev/ad2s1a /mnt
mount: /dev/ad2s1a: Operation not permitted
What am I missing? Is there anything else I need to do beyond editing
the disklabel to allow me to use the "mirrored" disk?
Output of disklabel for the two disks follows:
# disklabel ad0

Thanks for any insight, and let me know if you need to see anything else.
