PlayStation [HELP] Duplicate save files on PS4?

[totallylost]

Hello!

Do you know a possibility to duplicate a save file on a PS4?

Or / and do you know a workaround to Save the files on an USB-Stick (works) and load the file back as a different Playstation User to play on from this day? (doesn't work)

No, unfortunately, there is no way to duplicate save files on the PS4. The way the PS4 saves it's files is by encrypting the data onto its hard drive or selected external storage device. So even if you were to try a work around with saving the files onto an external storage device or plugging in the hard drive into a PC, you wouldn't be able to know what files are what. So unfortunately this idea is implausible. Technically possible if you took the hundreds of hours of sorting and experimenting with different files and that's IF you manage to decrypt the files too, so not very practical.
