The PS4 I got has a 500GB HDD on it and considering the size of these games and the free monthly games available with a PlayStation Plus subscription I expect to have to upgrade the HDD at some point in the not so distant future. Luckily for me the PS4 HDD is user upgradeable. Unluckily for me it'll take me quite a few days, if not weeks, to redownload all the games. I'd rather use one of the few 1TB External USB HDDs I've got laying around as backup storage for the downloaded files. Just one problem... there's no way to save the game files from the PS4 to external or network storage.

LANcache on Ubuntu Linux for PS4 and PlayStation Network (PSN)
I recently picked up a PS4 and having been out of the gaming scene
for a few years was a bit shocked to see the size of game downloads and
updates off the PSN Store. When I got back home with the brand new PS4 I
just wanted to pop in the free Destiny disc and get to playing, but
ended up waiting 2 hours for the 2.5GB update to finish before I could
actually start. Battlefield 4 was a whole different story at a
36GB download which took almost 2 days to retrieve.
