There are limited ways to get the Recovery HD;
- Installing macOS using an Installer application.
- Cloning an existing copy of macOS using Disk Utility.
- Using Carbon Copy Cloner to clone both system and Recovery HD.
These are the only current ways to copy a Recovery HD. Only using Disk Utility can you install macOS with a Recovery HD, automatically. There are some limits to using Disk Utility. Disk Utility is a full disk copier, not a file copier. This means that if the Source disk is "size=x", then the Target disk must be "size=x" or larger.
Carbon Copy Cloner should copy it:
