I couldn't find a guide or concrete answers for my scenario.
My scenario is I playing between two different PS4 Pros and want to keep my game saves across (so I resume playing where I left off on PS4 #1 on PS4 #2).
Both systems are running:
I'm familiar of running PS4FTP to copy the data to the console via FTP programs.
I have a few questions that hopefully someone can answer.
Question #1
If I don't use the "Backup Save DB" option in 5.05 exploit menu, and just simply FTP into PS4 #1 and "copy the files", will it still work?
I am under the impression userdata files were encrypted, the the "Backup" option in the exploit menu copies "properly". I personally would prefer to FTP in consistently versus using an USB flash drive back and forth.
Question #2, Part A
If PS4 #1 has a game save, say God of War, but PS4 #2 does not have God of War installed will it still copy it successfully (i.e. create the gamedata folder on PS4 #2)?
And if I happen to install said game, God of War, on PS4 #2 afterwards - will the gamesave from PS4 #1 be present and ready to use (or I just lose that gamesave upon launch of a fresh game install)?
Question #2, Part B
It's a followup question but if I copy all the userdata from my main PS4 #1, and let's say it has 10 games installed with gamedata. But my PS4 #2 has only 5 games installed.
Then I play on PS4 #2, then backup all the userdata from that specific unit. Will I lose gamesaves from the "other 5 games" that are not installed?
I appreciate anyone that can provide insight and feedback. Trying to avoid "corrupt gamesaves" when I can.
Thank you very much in advance!

Both systems are running:
- v5.05 Firmware
- Both are "Pro" variants (I don't think that matters but just in case)
- no PSN activation on either console
- same local user "name" on both systems (same spelling)
