Ps3 (cfw) died, system backup on new console

[RostigeFrikadelle]

Hello there
So about 3 weeks ago my fat ps3 (evilnat 4.88) started to show behavior that points to a ylod in the near future so I replaced it today. But before I get started I want to know the following: If I run a system backup on a flash drive and restore it on my new ps3, can the fact that the old ps3 had a cfw mess the new console up? It's still on ofw if that matters. Can I just restore the backup anyway or should I install cfw again first (and does it need to be 4.88 again or is 4.88.2 OK too)?

I'm too scared to just try it so I thought I might ask somewhere where people with more experience are around.

Have a nice day
Toby

System backup is trash. You will restore on different PS3 almost nothing using it.

Instead:

But if You have OFW, then You cannot restore anything by that except saves (and only after resigning for target user). You need CFW or HEN on target console or have access to console resources.

how do you back up the data is there any video from youtube to show the process?

So if I do a normal system backup stuff like my user profile information (profile name, system settings, etc) and my save data for games will be saved but pretty much nothing else?

Using file manager (i.e build-in multiMAN) on PS3 side and/or FTP client (i.e Filezilla) on PC side (needs working i.e FTP Server build-in WebMAN Mod).

FTP Servers are not stable so recommend method is to use file manager and copy data to USB (FAT32 on MBR).

System Backup will restore on different consoles only:

• system settings, including users, their passwords and NP Account ID
• saves but only those without Copy Prohibited parrams (which prevents also copying saves to USB from XMB)
• virtual memory cards
  
• installed games, DLC and patches (but without licenses of course, and all content tied to IDPS will not works no matter what; like i.e Singstar DLCs)

Everything else will not be restored or even doesn't be in backup.

Some patches cannot be downloaded and install again because they are already removed from developers servers (and some from Sony servers too).
