Sorry if it's been posted before; didn't see a relevant thread, or anything in the FAQ sticky.

So, I have a Kingston 8 gig USB drive. I *thought* I had successfully backed up my current GT5 progress (along with some snazzy pics taken in Photo Mode), but when I peruse said USB drive, I'm not seeing anything that looks like game data (or the picture files)?

What am I doing wrong?
 
When you view it on a PC, there should be a folder named PS3. Inside that there'll be a folder called save data.

Did you just copy your main save to the stick? (highlight gt5 save, press triangle, choose copy and select the usb drive)

Correct.

I think I'm having trouble finding the file, since I'd used this same USB drive previously to back up game data off the old PS3 that crapped out on me.

I do see the PS3 folder, but I'm not sure which subfolder is for GT5, and I can't seem to locate the .jpgs I attempted to save from Photo Mode.


edit: right right; I believe I've found my GT5 save data. Looks about right, size wise (635 kb). Still have no idea where my .jpg files are, though. =\
 
Did you export the jpg's to the ps3 dashboard photo folder and save them to usb from there?

Hm. That must've been the step I had missed.

I'll give it another go when I get home. Thanks muchly, gents. :)
