How do I clone a DirecTV hard drive with Mac OS X?

[corin]

I would like to clone my HR24-200's hard drive to ensure I don't lose my recordings in case the original hdd fails. I know the drive is Linux formatted and I'm a Mac user... any way to do this?

Thanks!

The data on the D* drive will be encrypted, don't know if it can be done, kinda doubt it.

Using this Mac drive clone software (anysoftwaretools.com/mac-drive-clone.html) can be an optional way.

So, has anyone been able to do what the OP is asking about yet ?
