So according to the quickstart guide, a system backup to an external HDD seems to be the best option, especially if I want include my digital PS3 games:

It is also possible to dump digital content and licenses on any PS3 even without custom firmware, by the way of creating a system backup, and then extracting it with ps3xport software.

I had almost forgotten, how painfully slow every disc operation on PS3 is.

Even deleting a single game from the HDD can take minutes... is the PS3 scrubbing every bit?

The system backup of my 90% filled 1 TB HDD is already running for 13 hours to reach 50%... probably another 11 - 15 hours to complete it.
