Can I use this to make backups of my game saves to USB?
Being somewhat naive to the gaming scene, I only recently discovered that the PS5 prevents you from backing up your game saves to your own physical media - something that was possible on the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4.
Instead, you have to subscribe to PS Plus and enable cloud backups - and you need a separate subscription per user profile.
I only discovered this after my daughter lost a year of work in Minecraft due to data corruption, and I tried to teach her the value of backing up.

The PS5 may be my last console.
