Restore
Introduction
This section will guide you through restoring the data on your PlayStation 3 Internal HDD and External HDD.
Should anything happen to your console, Internal HDD, or External HDD, having backups in place will make it simple to restore everything to the way it was. You’ll learn how to properly recover both storage devices, ensuring your games, saves, and homebrew applications are back up and running with minimal hassle.
We're going to be using two programs to get the job done:
Rescuezilla Live OS: Allows us to restore full disk image backups, ensuring a precise and reliable recovery of all the data on your storage devices.
FileZilla: Enables us to connect via FTP to the PlayStation 3's HDD0 partition, allowing us to restore our games, homebrew apps, and other data directly to the console's internal hard drive. This makes the restoration process straightforward and efficient, ensuring all your content is transferred back seamlessly.
