The transfer process is unfortunately not what I expected. DF says you have to connect both to a router, not directly together via LAN cable. Since I can't move the tv to the router, I guess I'll have to take the (faster) back up route.

My question is, does backing up ps4 content to an external HDD leave the existing contents on that drive alone? Will it back up to a separate directory I can delete later?

vonnecting both to a router is just an option. and not even as fast as conneting them directly to eachother. 

Ah perhaps I misunderstood

Alternatively, hook up both consoles to your router via LAN cables and the entirety of your drive contents can be beamed across to the Pro. (but be warned, this may actually take longer than the drive back-up option)

Maybe DF didn't try a direct connection in their haste to get a review out.
