[QUOTE="DSPX"] How do you see how much space is left on your hard drive?
Also how do you make a back up of the operating system, saves, downloaded games, etc. if you get a bigger hard drive? Can you back everything up to your computer, or do you have to use a external hard drive? Do you need to create any special folders on the external drive?

To see how much space you have left on your hard drive, go to settings on the XMB (main menu) and scroll down until you see "System Settings" and scroll down to "System Information" and you'll see how much space is left on your HDD along with your MAC address and I.P. address. For backing up all your game saves, go to settings, "System Settings", scroll up till you see "Backup Utility" and select "Backup", then select the "yes" option. Make sure you have a USB device to backup your files and game saves, then select the "USB DEVICE" icon and wait till your PS3 is done backing up all your saves. As for the external hard drive, it's up to you if you want to create special folders, but it's not needed. Hope this helps.:)
So you're saying that I can just plug my computer or external drive into the PS3, select 'backup', and the PS3 will take care of everything? Does it also copy over downloaded games, system settings, media, and demos?
