DanielVT Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I use my cloud saving ability often (I'm a PS Plus member). With that said, I am not overly paranoid about losing my data. Besides, once I am done with a game, it is rare I come back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sociologamer Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Never have, but maybe I should... o.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkGibbons Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Never. Maybe I should; but starting from old saves is like starting from the beginning to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifayrie Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Perhaps I should back up mine after 2 years of having a PS3 O__O" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASCARfan247 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I backup all my savedata every day on PS Plus but am yet to do a full backup on the Ps3 system for the whole hard drive, hopefully once i get a 320GB external hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A12 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Just to post some info: Did a Full Backup last night of approximately 98 GB. Took 2 hours and 55 minuets. Today I'm installing a 500 GB HDD. The restore process started with 5 hours 28 minuets to completion. Now @ 3% it's down to 3 hours 27 minuets. I would imagine it will really only take about 3 hours. But the Backup didn't fluctuate time so much. Edit: It took 5 and a half hours like it first said... Other info about my journey: I ended up using the 500 GB HDD out of my (now dead for a third time) Phat. Witch was updated to current Firmware (4.0). But I had to use a flash drive to download the Firmware again, to re-install to the incoming drive. I've never had to do that before, even on a used/partitioned drive. And I ended up hitting an error in the beginning of the Backup process. (800283E1) So when you are going to attempt a Full Backup, you must have at least 5 GB of free space on the PS3 HDD. The Backup utility saves in heaps of 4.95 GB to the PS3 HDD, then copy's it to the External drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Ichiban Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Never done a backup, I'll be doing it with games that take a long time and I'm still playing (Disgaea 3 and 4 are the only games like that for now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirbz Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 i dont really back up my saves. the most important ones are in the cloud, and the not important ones are just laying there on the ps3. but the important ones go on the cloud every night, so im safe.

dontwaketheKIDS Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I backup a handful of "critcal" save files once every few weeks to a USB drive. Fortunately I haven't needed to restore any saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I have never backed up any of my files. It would probably be a good thing to do next time I get a chance. I like to live life on the edge anyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRe Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I did back up some files earlier today actually. I do it on rare occasions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowrider50 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I probably back up my save files onto a usb every 2-3 months, i copy them to multiple accounts whenever i am in the middle of a game just incase it corrupts. I'm not buying ps plus for cloud storage, it's an unfair monopoly sony is in with the copyrighted save "fails", and i'm boycotting it. Besides, most of my saves can be copied and backed up and the ones that can't i don't really care about.anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
