Facebook: How To Get Only Status Updates on Your FB Home Page
Thanks for your help. I was wondering something though. Does system (not PSN)account matter when backing up files? I bought my PS3 from somebody else, and never bothered to restore the system when I got it.
Now I have game saves (protected) and demos on the system, and would like to reformat the HD, and create an account of my own and of course reinstalling what I have. And I couldn't find the original owner, so I have no information about the password etc (it's always kept as 'save my password' so I can just sign in automatically) Stupid I know.. But I learned my lesson.
Is this a possibility? I heard that you won't be able to get the backup to work on another machine. In this case, it's the same machine, but different account.
Any help appreciated.. Thanks!
To do a full system backup (this will basically copy ALL of the photos, music, videos and game save files and settings on the PS3 to a backup folder; you will need to have an external usb harddrive or thumbdrive w/enough space on it).
In the XMB, go to System
Go to Settings > System Settings > Backup Utility
Then choose Back Up
Finally, pick the device to backup too (memory stick, usb harddrive, etc).
THIS DOES NOT COPY, COPY PROTECTED SAVE DATA, AS I HAVE ALREADY TRIED!!!
PSN does not work to play online, I format my PS3, PSN starts to work. Restore the backup, PSN stops again.
My worst nightmare comes with the SFIV saved game what is copying protected. Ironically, who's corrupted my PS3 system file was the latest SFIV update.
I related to Capcom my problem, and I'm looking forward their answer here (user Nospheratus79):
