How many times do you guys run Backup Util?

[Blade]

Simple question, I am wondering if I should run it once a week or month.

I don't even know what it is.

if its something to back ur stuff up then maybe at least once. recently my PS3 started freezing, i couldnt play some games like MGS and Guitar Hero so i had to reformat my harddrive losing everything i had.

Yea........my ps3 of almost 3 years crashed in Feb, so I bought a new one. I have only run it 2x so far in the last 4 months.

It pretty much backs up your game saves and other junk such as Network configs.

How do you do that, sounds like a great idea.

[Blade]

Where's it back them up to? Your HDD?
And if that fails?

It backs up to an external USB device that you plug in. It could be a memory stick that is big enough to hold your saves or an external HD.

How do you do that, sounds like a great idea.

You can do that through the system menu.

yea, all the important things you need of the PS3 you can get everything with a 2GB flash drive almost. The things that takes up the most space is the game data, not the save game data.

But yea you can interchange media from your flash drive and your PS3, I dont think you can copy demo's though.
