|
|
I was wondering if anyone has upgraded their PS3's HDD to anything over 120GB? I want to get a bigger HDD for my birthday but don't know if I should get one or not because I have my Rock Band savedata which is copyright protected and RE5 as well. So my real question is if I choose to backup from the system settings? Will these be backed up as well?
Also, I didn't post on a PS3 forum because I didn't feel like signing up for one website for that one question.
Anyways, thanks in advance |

He's asking if his copy protected saves will be backed up as well. _________________

Yes. As long as you use the "Backup" feature in System Settings it will be fine. Also the external HDD MUST be Fat32.
I'm rolling on a 320gb (actually 298) hard drive.

I was wondering about this too. I have been erasing game data like MGS4 when I stop playing it because I don't have any room any more does backing it up mean I won't have to download the RB DLC again? I hope I won't have to. _________________

Yes. If you have a FAT32 formatted storage device with a good amount of space then you should be able to back up EVERYTHING that is stored in your PS3's HDD: Demos, Movies, DLC, Save Data, Music, etc. |

Just a tip:
Before you backup, delete the game data for any games that dont have DLC/big patches. It will make things faster.
I deleted the MGS4, Oblivion, and GTA4 data first, saved 13gigs of transfer time. (remember, game data, not save data)
EDIT: My GH3 DLC restored from the backup, so you won't need to re-download any DLC.
I can't remember if I had any copy protected saves, but all my saves transferred flawlessly when I restored the backup. _________________
