Was going to reply with pretty much the same answer as DC. One option you
could consider is a drive caddy that turns the bare HDD into an external
drive with USB connector then you can use something like 'dd' to mirror the
internal drive to external.

Once the copy is done you can swap the drives around, and use your old
internal as portable storage.
