How To Fully Backup Any PS3 Hard Drive Data And Restore Them On Another PS3

[@Spartan11117777]

My old June-2008-Fat-PS3 died in March, 2017 from the Yellow Lights of Death and in Oct. 2019, some people sold me their PS3 Super Slim so I’ve been wanting to extract the Save Data from the Internal Hard Drive itself. I’ve just been wondering if I can use my Desktop to connect the PS3 80 GB Internal Hard Drive to the PC and look at all the Internal Files to see if I can copy my Game Data onto a USB Drive and insert it into my current PS3 Super Slim to continue playing Metal Gear Solid HD Collection, MGS4, and The Last of Us Part 1 again??? 🤔 My Old PS3 just won’t work or display a picture due to a burnt out Chip I think, it still powers up though. There’s like 4 different ways to move/copy PS3 Save Data onto another PS3 but I didn’t do those in the first place cuz I didn’t know how much sand my PS3 had inside of it.

[@sak1dean]

Did you ever find a solution?

[@avishaijahanian6472]

One of the things i like specifically on your videos is that there is no doubts left no magically exploit but restoring yes no stone unturned no confusion

[@sadikovicarmin]

Some of you may run into an issue where the PS3 keeps telling you to connect a storage media even though you followed all the directions on the video. (Great video as well) so if you are running into this issue make sure your drive is a MBR not GPT that should let the PS3 recognize the external drive. Also cluster size / allocation size set to 32 (32mg)

[@Toomnyusernae]

I see your comment is from a week ago. Will this method counter that damn CMOS battery and server scare I've been hearing about the past month?

[@sadikovicarmin]

@@Toomnyusernae Unfortunately, no. The drive is simply a storage cabinet. However jailbroken PS3 is more likely to be fixable from the CBOMB issue. Unless Sony patches it out it is still a problem. As far as I am aware they reversed their decision to shut down the PS3 store for now. So you can stay on official firmware but I jailbroke mine just in case as it will be easier to remedy the CMOS/CBOMB issue when it does happen.

[@Great_Watt]

I keep getting that error message! How do you format an external drive to Fat32 MBR? The 3rd party programs I've tried to format to Fat32 all default to GPT and I can't find a way to change this.

[@sadikovicarmin]

@@Great_Watt I use AOMEI Partition Assistant but I am sure the free version will do this for you otherwise you can use something open source such as Fat32Format. May need a hard drive to USB adapter or bay to actually conenct the drive to your PC or directly via SATA to your PC.

Can you save PS3 account because I have a PS3 account on my PS3 that I don’t know the password and I dont know the email password

[@magicmanhs7718]

I forgot my fake DoB and forgot the password too 😭 i want to know if i can save all that up

[@TheGugamg]

Great video, solved a lot of the doubts I had! Sorry for the question I'm new at this, but can you restore this backup on other exploited PS3s and the games will be reinstalled too? I've searched a lot and some people say that games are copyrighted and because of that they are only reinstalled when the data is restored on the same PS3 the backup mas made on. Like these files were linked to a specific PS3 and will only be allowed on that machine. Thank you

hi, i want to upgrade my hdd because of low capacity on ps3 slim. what happens if i clone my ps3 hdd to new hdd from a pc.

[@DEXXXO]

should work by Sector by Sector Clone Method but as i know the Backup works only for the Same Console if you try to restore to a new PS3 will not Work becouse the HDD has Paring infos to the OLD PS3

[@Alexis_-]

does it work with cfw

[@shanem2059]

I used hard drive raw copy and it worked like a dream, 130gb Hard Drive to 250gb SSD and like new again only took about an hour to clone drive

[@loool2180]

Does the USB Hard Drive need to have the same storage capacity as the PS3 hard drive or do the files automatically get compressed in the transfering process?

[@cdubya166]

hard drive raw copy? is that the name of a windows program or what do you mean?

[@rodolfocosta2503]

When i choose the destination where to make the backup, the screen saying Preparing... Please Wait appears and it won't get past there no matter how much i wait, already waited for 20 minutes and nothing🤔

[@sophia7750]

I bought a hard drive will it work in my ps3 without formatting? If not then is there anyway I can pull the data off and transfer it to a working hard drive?

Did you try?

Hi I was wondering how long restoring my ps3 usually takes? It only took like 5 minutes to back up, so I assumed it would be fast. But mine is stuck at 0%.

[@constiyiiot3322]

can this process be like cloning your drive?

[@elizabethnanney5990]

Can I use this method to swap out the HDD with an SSD?

[@lassebeazt]

PS3s dont like ssds

[@cemsengul16]

I swapped my 120 GB hard drive on my PS3 Slim to a 500 GB WD Blue SSD and it works perfectly fine. My machine is full Rebug though, not HEN.

@@orlandofurioso7329 I did not backup anything, I did not have anything important on the hard drive at the time. I only had some save files for games I had sold a while back. I just swapped straight up.

[@otter25702]

It won't work on a SSD. You may want to state that. The PS3 won't recognize it.

[@billykibakithejamaican]

Don't need to state that because it works with all even m.2 ssd

Does it back up your Digital games and DLC's?

How did u fit a bigger than 4gb backup on fat 32 USB?

Very good and backing up PS3 Hard Drive data via Backup Utility is better to use on cfw and hen since all protected items, trophies, and downloaded content can be restored. Not use with ofw since it has limitations.
