help Tivo Premiere failing S.M.A.R.T diagnostics

When using kmttg with my 4 year old Tivo Premiere, I noticed the program was having problems with some recordings. When I checked those recordings on the Tivo, I noticed pixellation, audio glitches and occasional freezes in those recordings. I ran kickstart 54 SMART diagnostics and its original (320GB) internal drive triggered a "FAIL 7" for the Short, Conveyance & Extended tests. The external 1TB Mybook AV drive passed the tests.



The Tivo is on an Annual contract.



I have over 170 recordings on my Tivo including about 69 "copy protected" recordings. What are my options for backing up/preserving the most recordings? I've seen (old?) references to mfstools and ddrescue.



If I upgraded to a Roamio basic, could the recordings (including copy protected) be migrated to the the Roamio ?
