This question has been asked at least 1 gazillion times on the net. How do I back up my saved games on my PS3?

Here is how to backup your PS3 game saves to a memory stick (MS Duo, CF, SD, MMC). Please take notice that some game save files are copy protected ie. NDFS: Carbon. These have to be backed up slightly different

1. On the XMB (cross media bar), go to the Game section.
2. Go to Game Saves
3. Put in your memory stick.
4. Find the game save you want to copy/backup, highlight it and hit the Triangle button.
5. Choose the menu option to Copy
6. Hit the X button on the memory stick and let it copy.

Easy as apple pie huh.

There are a few games that have copy protection built into them. To backup these files you can’t just copy them to a memory stick, you will need to do an actual system backup.

To do a full system backup 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
Then pick your backup device (memory stick, usb harddrive, etc).
