Recently @stooged lent a hand sharing both details with source code on Backing Up and Restoring the PS4 Database, and he followed up with a handy DbBackup.bin Payload compiled for PS4 4.05 OFW users to backup their PlayStation 4 database to a USB Drive alongside one for dumping save data below. :love:

Download: DbBackup.zip / Source Code / DB_SG_Backup.zip (8.79 KB - dumps save data into a folder called GameSaves) / DB_SG_Backup_v2.zip (8.27 KB - Dumps All User Accounts) / DB_SG_Backup3.zip (8.82 KB - Adds Notification Messages from 2much4u) / DB_Backup_455.zip (Updated for 4.55) / usb_455_db_backup.zip (0.02 MB) / Cache-Install: ApplicationCache.db / DB_SG_Backup-50X (Latest) / GIT

To quote from his recent post with usage instructions:

just put a usb stick/drive into the usb port and run the DbBackup.bin payload

it will save the addcont.db and app.db files inside a folder called DB_Dackup on the usb drive.

if you do not use a usb stick/drive it will backup the database into the /system_data/priv/mms/ folder on the ps4 and it will be called app.db_backup.

to restore the db just ftp into the /system_data/priv/mms/ directory and upload your backup copy.

credit to @XVortex for the neat way to check which usb port has the drive in it in their ps4dumper source, I tried a few other things with no decent result but @XVortex had a simple method to do the trick :)

i have question, does this stuff work as a restore point when i changed the internal ps4 hard drive it will load all of the games i stored in external hard drives
 
I really need help with this, guys!! I did a backup with this payload from al azif web exploit since I was going to sell my PS4 and had to do a restore to give a like new console, but the sale didnt go well and I got stucked with my ps4 now restored.

Not big deal since I had the backup files. Buuut when I go to restore the files that I backed up the console says that the DB changed and restart but nothing is restored, what can I do :( i want my trophies and save data back!!!!
 
No, sorry.
I know it's late telling you this now but you should have activated your profile before you did anything or used the PS4s backup/restore app to backup your profile.

That way you could have copied your saves to USB, initialised your PS4 then reactivate or restore your profile.

You could have also used the HDD Upgrade backup/restore tools I made in PS-Phwoar!. That way you could have restored your profile, your saves, your PS4 settings and even your trophies (which you cant do with the PS4's backup/restore app).
 
@Leeful damn I can't believe I lost 50 games with 30+ hours of gameplay and my trophies and everything, what a crappy year, seriously.

I'm gonna keep my saves just in case in the future something like rehash/resign is possible. Thanks anyway for your replies man.
