I don't really see how else that would be done. You can copy a harddrive by connecting both hdds to the same system, which of course cannot be done with a single system. Or you can copy the contents to an external drive, and then copy them back to the new one. I mean, i suppose the external drive could be a networked computer, but if they wanted you to be able to do that, it wouldn't be encrypted in the first place, and you could just connect the hdd to your computer and copy it that way.Backup utility requires an external hard drive in FAT32 format to dump the backup onto hence the 'second harddrive needed'.
