I have an Nvidia Shield TV, with an external drive I'm using as "extended internal storage". Can I (after shutting the system down) duplicate this drive to another drive in some fashion? (I'm concerned that my current drive may be dying.)

If your drive is likely dying, you're not gonna hurt anything by trying. Worst that happens, I'd think, is you have to add it in Shield storage settings as another drive, transfer data while booted, and then retire the dying drive.
Hmmm... maybe Foldersync ?
reminds me, I seem to have trouble navigating USB drives after I've added a MicroSD as adopted storage.
Is this expected behaviour on the Shield? The research I did before adopting the SD card seemed to indicate that it should even be possible to adopt multiple storage devices, is that wrong?
Is it Shield specific?
Edit: The SD I adopted isn't particularly large, but it's fast, because I had it laying around and thought that when I want to expand, I could just adopt another storage device by USB, and tell the shield to vacate the card. Am I at a dead end?
Maybe? I know that you can't access the contents from another computer, something about it being encrypted or something along those lines, but a bit-to-bit duplicate would work in theory. Unless Android does some other check to prevent tampering.
