Copying PS3 Save Data

[IQBlue]

Just wondering if anyone knows how to copy the PS3 save data. I want to be able to bring my characters to my friend's house to play but when I try to copy the data onto a flash drive or SD card, the data says LOCKED.

I also should ask, is it possible to use my character on someone else's system? I was reading it was possible on the Xbox 360 version but I haven't seen anything for PS3.

Not being able to copy the RB saved data file is working as designed apparently:

For whatever reason, this is a copy protection option HMX intentionally chose to place on the saved data file.

Interesting enough, according to the PS3 support doc I have linked in the thread above, you should be able to move protected saved data files to an SD card (which will also remove it from your PS3 HDD), but not copy them. I haven't tried this in the case of RB, so I'm not sure if it works.

I surely hope they remove this lock in a future patch, as I like to make back-ups of all my saved data files on my SD card. I've already had one RB saved data file become corrupted during a system lock-up, and had to start the game over from scratch as a result.
