Scared of downloading Firmware 2.40 when it is released again? Fear not, follow this short video on how to back up your PS3. Make sure your set a few hours a side before performing a back up or do it over night to save time.

  • Guys I need help! When I try to back up my data, right when the screen heits the loading screeen and is trying to estimate how long it will take, it cancells and says it couldn't be done! it doesn't any anything else as to why it failed! I really need to back up my crap so help right would be appreciated! D:

  • @weasel159 Try restoring the file system on your PS3. Search for PS3 Recovery Menu on YouTube to find my video on this.

  • Wat happens if I unplugged my ps3 wen I was restoring it?? Would it hurt the hard drive internally???

  • @mouaflavorful yes. Isn't that obvious. You will damage your PS3 and the hard drive connected to it.
