you can do the "Transfer data utility" it will copy your copyrighted saves, but also you need another PS3 and an ethernet cable.

edit: Lol it seems you already mentioned that, i'll check (i don't know if i own a game with copyright saves)

You have Heavy Rain, Star Ocean, Killzone 2 and Demon's Souls :P

 

The data transfer utility only moves the files from one PS3 to another, which means the files will be copy-protected on the new PS3 (and erased from the original one)... so, you're in the same situation, if that PS3 dies, your files will be gone, too.

The back-up utility doesn't work either because the back-up can only be restored to the PS3 that created it... and if it breaks, you won't be able to restore that back-up to any other PS3 :S I think the back-up is only useful if you need to format your HDD or something like that but not if your PS3 dies T_T

I've already asumed the inevitable fate... the only hope is that Sony lets us copy those files with a new firmware update that removes copy-protection... the idea has been posted on the PlayStation Blog Share

So... it's one of the most voted ideas... I hope they do something about it soon...
