How can you tell if any of your game saves are locked? You can't The only way I've ever been able to determine it is to highlight a save and hit triangle. If the 'Copy' option is grayed out you've probably got a locked save. Your game data is gone.
I knew I'd have to redownload all the games I'd purchased, but what I didn't expect was that none of my game data would make the trip over to the new hard drive. Your game data is separate from your game saves. Game data is all of the "other" stuff that gets saved to your PS3's hard drive. Game installs from disc-based games and downloadable games have to be re-installed. I'd forgotten what a joy it was to load Gran Turismo 5 with it's minute mandatory install.
You've redownloaded your games, but don't forget to patch them. Something else that came as a surprise was that even though I had to download fresh copies of my games, the games weren't patched! Redownloading patches for my disc-based games makes sense after loosing all of my game data, but when I download a fresh copy of a full game I expect it to come fully patched.
It took a while to download Burnout paradise, but it took even longer to download all the patches that have come out since its' release. Your metadata is gone. This was one of the bigger bummers for me. While I was disappointed to have lost the video content I purchased from the Playstation Store, it wasn't a huge deal to me because I had far more video that I had ripped and copied to the Playstation myself.
Select Backup Utility. Select Restore. The new PS3 will only allow you to format the drive, not access the data. Yes, you would like to back up data onto another storage device.
At this point, you need your spacious USB 2. Since we performed the backup process on a brand new PS3, we could use a thumb drive as small as MB. A GB backup may take a few hours maybe up to 10, give or take. And the chosen solution no possible backups is not adapted to the problem. They could just link it to my account so I will the only one being able to restore it on another console.
Anyway, I'll live with it as I have to. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer. This isn't accurate. The backup does not include purchased content, including downloaded games, movies or apps. It also does not include game data. Cf giantbomb.
I've just done a backup when I installed a new hard drive into the same PS3 to get my stuff back onto the new hard drive and it copied everything, even the copy protected save files. The only thing not copied were trophies which had to be downloaded again. I was confused by the article you linked as well and thus saved as much as I could in other ways as well, but it seems as long as you restore the backup on the same PS3, it restores everything. I appreciate the tip, but strictly speaking, this isn't really an answer to my question.
I was mainly responding to "However, I would also like to backup everything first using the Backup Utility just to be on the safe side.
