Assuming your old PS3 is still functional, this should do it:

1. Update both systems to 3.15 or up.
2. Hook both systems to your TV.
3. Deactivate the source PS3.
4. Activate the destination PS3.
5. Turn off systems. Link both systems with Ethernet cable.
6. Turn both systems back on.
7. Go to Data Transfer Utility, proceed and select option 1.
8. Switch TV source to destination PS3.
9. Repeat step 7, except choose option 2.
10. Let the destination PS3 format.

Thanks. I just saw that feature on my old PS3.

Everything in my home is running wireless and I threw my remaining ethernet cable out about 2-3 weeks ago.

 

Now I wish I hadn't.

No problem. I'm not sure if the backup function works in the same way as the transfer function does, but you might be able to do this with an external harddrive instead.
