Possible to backup save before clearing?

Anyone know exactly how the save system for this game works and if it's possible to make a backup of my save before clicking the button to clear it? I've been stuck at the loading screen (ship model spinning) for days now and no response from support of any kind. I'd hate to lose the week of progress I've made (12mil assets and millions more in exploration data) but I'd hate more to wait weeks only for support to tell me there's nothing they can do.
