These options are pretty self-explanatory. There are a few limitations per Sony, however if you backup your PS3 and get a new hard drive but use the same PS3, all of my data has backed up and restored fine.
This is very good to know if your getting a new PS3 Slim and had a PS3 Phat; you would want to use the Transfer Utility in this case more on this later. Also, all data is copied to the backup you can create on an external hard drive so PS3 still has the original data. However if you restore on a different PS3 than original backup was from, you will not get any copy-protected data back and have to redownload DLC that is protected too.
This new utility lets you transfer your data from one PS3 to another PS3 via cat5e network cable normal computer network cable. This utility will move the data from one PS3 to the other so the original PS3 will no longer have any of the data on it and the new PS3 has the data from the original PS3.
This will allow you to copy your protected game saves to the new PS3. I would recommend a Backup first and then data transfer that way you can restore the backup to the PS3 you just transferred from. Also be sure to Sync your Trophies on all accounts before doing the Transfer.
Use a tool such as Fat32Format this is a command line based utility. You cannot copy copy-protected game saves to a flash card or memory card, again the Backup utility is needed to backup these files.
Yes, annoying. If you just want your game data, I would recommend deleting all of your Movies, Music and Pictures before doing a backup. You can also redownload purchased movies however it may be easier to leave them on the harddrive. I had about GB of used space on my PS3 and my backup took over 15 hours.
So if you have copies of the items on your PC, you may want to delete them off your PS3 before hand and then just recopy back to PS3.
After you backed up your data, think about doing a harddrive upgrade. Its cheap and well worth it. However, this data can be downloaded only once every 24 hours. Sound pretty fair, actually. Needless to repeat, you need to update your PS3 to firmware version 3. Before we show you how to save game data online, let me first reiterate the Online Storage features: Ability to upload Game Saves online to PSN servers Download it to any PS3 to access this data PSN account and PlayStation Plus subscription required as of now Maximum game save items or MB storage space allowed Apart from these Sony has also included the ability to upload copy protected saved data.
According, to Sony all PS3 games except Afrika support uploading game saves online. Select the data that you want to upload, and then press the Triangle button. Select [Copy].
