Hi rob,

best solution :

Open the Audya, extract the harddisk and connect it via an adaptor direct to your PC.

A complete HD backup needs only about 20 Minutes !!!

BTW: Copying "file by file" is not the correct way, if you put these files to another hd ( in case of an crash of the original hd ) it won´t work.

Backing up rigistrations, userstyles and so on works fine.

But for a "complete" backup you need appropriate software ( e.g. CloneZilla, or Acronis True Image )
