how do i back up files from a HDD/DVD recorder

i tried to post this in home theatre and no response so maybe someone can help here, cheers

i have a hitachi HDD/dvd recorder, dv-ds161a, and have lost the manual for it.
what i would like top do is back up all the files that i have saved to it, ie films of the family and holidays, is there a way to do this from my ageing hardware?
i would prefer to back the files up to dvd or removable hard drive so that if the worst happens to the recorder i have not just lost the entire lot. right now i have about 80gb worth or film so removable hard drive might be easier

thanks in advance for any help
