Same file system? Same user?
Copying Ext4 to Ext4 or FAT to FAT or something to the same something works.
If you have a backup on Linux, it can use root or your user permission. You need the same for the copy. Windows to Linux is not a problem as Windows does not have user permissions in the file system.
#1 When SSD is hot or nearly full, the copy will slow down to the point where you think the machine is dead. Make sure you have plenty of space.
#2 USB SSD to USB SSD runs at SATA/USB 3 speeds on Pi 4 and 5. My Pi Zero 2 runs at USB 2 speed.![:(]( "Sad")
Pi 4 or 5 is better.
#3 Pi 4 USB 3 ports share the 5 Gbps speed. Pi 5 has separate 5 Gbps for each port.![:D]( "Very Happy")
#4 A backup is only a backup if it is on a different device in a different location and, in the case of Ukraine, in a different country. You can backup over a network to a Pi. The Pi 4 and 5 have full Ethernet speed.
