 Remove the HD and attached it as the second drive in
an
old bootable PC that already has one MFM drive. You'll 
need to get the drive parameters for the drive entered
into the CMOS; I think I used to use SpeedStor (?) for 
that. Other utilities exist.  
I imagine the older Linuxes support MFM controllers.
Perhaps even the current versions do, too.  You could simply
'dd' the drive image to another device.

My favorite backup trick recently was getting drive images
...
 from an Amiga 2500 to a PC for use under an emulator.
I mounted the PC's drive under NFS, then used a freeware
program to copy the drive image to the remote file.
