    You can even get ones with spicy firmware for extra flavour that lets you back up your physical media (where allowed by law, of course… Naturally)

        I’d imagine that could make a backup of the whole disk, but it can’t decrypt it

        I just flashed the firmware and used makemkv (when I was using windows…) I’m sure there’s a better FOSS way but I haven’t explored it since moving to linux

      When I was in the market for one a few years ago, an internal drive and a USB enclosure was a safer bet for making backups than a USB drive. It’s usually not too hard to find out the recommended drives for the backup software.
