Dear all:
Is it possible to mount an external hard drive while running Debian in
rescue mode?
Yes.
Furthermore, the ultimate question is how could I copy folders from the
computer's hard drive to the external one while in rescue mode?
Many thanks!!

This is how I start a rescue shell using debian-11.9.0-amd64-netboot media:
Debian GNU/Linux installer menu (BIOS mode) -> Advanced options
Advanced options -> Rescue mode
Language -> C
Continent or region -> North America
Country, territory or area -> United States
Keymap -> American English
Hostname -> debianrescue
Domain name -> tracy.holgerdanske.com
Select your time zone -> Pacific
Passphrase for /dev/sda3 -> <empty> -> Continue
Device to use as a root file system -> Do not use a root file system
Rescue operations -> Execute a shell in the installer environment
Executing a shell -> Continue
Once busybox(1) is running, you can issue mount(8) and cp(1) commands
similar to using a shell.
