System Backup, System Restore. They are internally built into the PS3. For having one, you haven't read the manual or browsed through the menus much have you? :)

I have 2 ps3s also.. the thing you can do, is use a portable hard drive. go the the settings and go to backup. it will copy all data that is not copyright. games saves will be copyed, but not the game hard drive downloads. you will need to download the games over again, but your game saves will be ok.

Or you can take the hard drive out of the one and put it in the other one.

good luck.

I dont advise taking out the hard drive it will format and lose your data when you put it in the new ps3 :P

No you can't, it'll make you do a format.
