AtheK Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Hi Guys, So i recently sold my PS3 and got another one, i had backed up data on external HDD. Now when i try to restore game data, it does not restore game or game data. I think i will need to redownload as searching around internet it seems it is not possible to do this. So the moot point of backing up your data on a hard drive makes no sense if your PS3 is going to die on you, it is just plain stupid. Did anyone face something similar, any solution except redownloading 300 GB of data. Regards Aman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentassassin Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 U cant transfer backup data from one ps3 to another.. That back is only usefull while replacing hdd... To transfer data from 1 PS3 to another you have to have both the PS3's.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I get that, but lets say you have a PS3 and you back it up religiously. You get YLOD, wat was the point of the backup. Anyway, what is done is done, 400 GB download awaits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, what is done is done, 400 GB download awaits The data is tied to your console , not your account or something...Thats the reason it wont work... This is where proxy comes in real handy..I backed everything up in a day to my new ps3 using proxy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
