Question:- 

How can you SAVE ALL Chromecast Settings to Internal memory, then transfer this "Settings File" on to External Flash Drive, plugged into a USB C Hub, series connected to Google Power Supply, Powering both Chromecast Google TV and Hub, via USB C PD Power  port on  Hub.

USB Flash Drive, formatted as FAT32.
 
 Using "X-plore" File Manager app already installed on CCGTV to Transfer "Settings File" Created, if possible. For future use, if Factory Reset is required.
 Much easier to Restore settings, instead of spending hours setting up CCGTV again from scratch.  
NOTE:- "X-Plore" app, can transfer files, via Wireless LAN connecting Phones or Tablets sharing Same Server IP Network, as Chromecast.
 
Also found External Flash Drive are READ ONLY,  NOT READ/WRITE. NEED A SOLUTION.
NOTE. Internal Memory will be WIPED with Factory Reset.
 
Maybe GOOGLE SUPPORT can respond, as well as Provide R/W Access  to External Storage.
 
By the way, if you achieve Recognition External Storage via Hub. Flash Drives formatted in FAT32 (ie 32GB) on First, Another Flash Drive Formatted as ExFAT (ie 128GB) is Recognised as well.
 
 Cheers

Hi Bob D 6151,
 
As I'm sure you know, Google don't provide a feature or setting to enable this I'm afraid. This is a mostly a user to user community, therefore if this is important to you, I’d encourage you to also send this feedback directly to Google. You will not receive a response, unless Google need more details from you, however the team are still reading the feedback.
