Backing up Hard Drive

Does anyone know if there is a way to back up what is on my internal hard drive? I have a HR20-100 HD DVR. I noticed that there is a USB port, is this useful in any way. I would like to upgrade my unit but don't want to loose my recorded programs.

no, there is no way to back or copy your hard drive in digital form.  you can copy those recordings using a DVD recorder or a PC using video capture hardware/software.  this is done is real time and is not on HD.  the USB port is use to connect the OTA accessory tuner to the HDDVR's
