PlayStation®3 Technical Help

Hi guys, I have just spent 4 hours backing up my ps3 hard drive to my usb drive, in case my ps3 crashes again, is there a way of choosing what games I want to backup to an external drive, or do you have to backup everything every time, as I have backed up my ps3 hard drive once, and if I download a game again can I just backup that game rather than go through the whole process of backing up the whole ps3 drive everytime I download a new game, thanks, Alan

You need to back up everything and restore everything. You are not able to choose what content you want to back up or restore unfortunately

The only way to do that is to delete stuff you don't want backed up, then run the backup and reinstall it again afterwards.

That'd be rather pointless and a waste of time so you're as we'll just backing everything up. (it takes ages but it's good to be prepared).

Sorry that it's not really the answer you were looking for.

thanks for your help, was hoping there was an easy way round it, when I download new games I will backup when I go to bed
