hi guys, i would like to ask something, hope somebody here can help me.
i recently bought a 320ghb hdisk and intended to replace my current existing 80gb in the PS3. i learned that to maintain all data that i got (save data, music, video, etc) i need to backup 1st to another/external hard disk with sufficient capacity.
my question is, the backup is actually an image of the 80gb hard disk rite?
if i do it the other way around, is it do-able?
meaning that i pull out the 80gb, then put in 320gb. when i do this, i believe the ps3 will ask me to format the hard disk, rite?
after i formatted the 320gb, if i choose to restore data from the original 80gb that i put inside an external harddisk enclosure, can i use it to restore data to the 320 hard disk? thanks
you cant simply restore because the hard drive is encrypted, and the backup files arent exactly 1-to-1 disk image
backup files created by ps3 are readable & copyable to PCs because they are decrypted and then stored in fat filesystem (ext hdd)
