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

It's on the second page: http://share.blog.us.playstation.com/ideas/popular/page/2/
So... it's one of the most voted ideas... I hope they do something about it soon...

well i can tell you that those games worked after i transfered them over the utility , the first thing i did was play Heavy Rain with move, and i played demon's souls afterwards, so i can tell you that it DOES transfer copyrighted data.

That's exactly what I've said... it only transfers the data (moves it from 1 PS3 to another PS3) but it doesn't copy it (you still only have 1 PS3 with the copy-protected save data because it was only moved, not copied) :P
What I want to do is back-up my saved data like I do with every other game that doesn't have copy-protected save files just in case my PS3 breaks someday (the full system back-up copies the protected data, but it can only be restored to the PS3 that you backed-up so if that system dies, your back-up would be useless... and the data transfer utility only transfers the copy-protected and normal data... it can't be used to back-up the data because it's only moved from 1 PS3 to another PS3).
Maybe it's my sucky english xD
But whatever... I already know it's impossible T_T. Thanks anyways :P
