My brother wanted me to inject some of the working games I converted on his OFW 4.81 PS3 but he requested me to backup all of his game saves and to make sure that his saves do work like it used to be before I do anything permanent.

I tested this on my setup (CFW & OFW 4.81) using the last of us. It obviously work flawlessly given DTU moves everything including my username so I created a dummy profile, copied my TLoU saves on a USB flashdrive and pasted it in the dummy account. The save files actually worked but it was restricted like not be able to earn trophies and continue to save your progress and etc.

I know that not all saves act like this... because some will allow you to use save from other profiles without any restrictions and some are so secure that you wouldn't be able to copy them on a USB stick at all (unless you use cloud saves via PS+).

I need help, I need to know what my options are to Save the Games Saves. Is it as simple as just creating a profile with the same username as it was on my brother's PS3?
 
Saves are protected from copying and signed to account , only option is to copy them to usb flash drive and modding so they work with any console then injecting them with dtu and all games.

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction. What do we use to basically unlock saves? This solves the ones that can be copied into a flashdrive. Is there anything we can do about the ones you can't copy onto a flashdrive (copy protected)?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think doing a system backup will include all your saves even the copy protected ones. Can I remove the protection that way?

No, as transfer utility does not include protected game saves it does inform you what will be transferred when it starts on OFW.

Thanks I did not know that but it would not matter in the end because I'm trying to save the ones located on the target PS3 which gets reformatted during DTU. What I'm getting at is, as you suggested and sorry if my last post was a bit confusing, copy the save files (OFW PS3) on a USB flashdrive and then liberate it then place liberated saves on CFW ps3 prior to DTU.

Now what I was thinking is that I will also make a system backup of the OFW PS3, which creates a backup of all saves including the copy protected ones (correct me if I'm wrong...) somehow extract the protected saves from the backup and liberate them and place it on the CFW PS3 before I DTU.
 
That's what I'm telling you, OFW will NOT backup protected saves using DTU on OFW !!! Nor you can copy them to USB as they are protected !!!

I was not talking about DTU but Backup Utility instead. I read somewhere that archive2_00.dat contains the copy protected save files. I was thinking about trying to figure out how to use PS3xport and remove the protection and somehow move it onto the CFW PS3 with trueancestor or something before I do a DTU.
