The other day while installing Destiny, I finally got the message I had run out of room on my PS4. It was time to upgrade my HDD to a 1TB Hybrid Drive (I just could not justify purchasing an SSD).
So the HDD will be waiting for me when I get home today, I already have the update file waiting on a USB stick.
I started backing up all of my games to a USB thumb drive, but damn what a tedious process it is. Am I missing an easy way to select all games at once? Or do I really have to do it one game at a time?
Which leads me to the point of this OP.
Can I rely on PS4 Cloud Save for my save backups?
I checked, and all of my backups are recent on the cloud, so instead of tediously backing up all of my game saves, I was just going to back up the ones I deem as very important, and go ahead and swap the HDD out.
Any other advice or words of wisdom?
I saw some people saying the thumb drive with the updated needs to be FAT 32. Sony does not say this in any of their instructions that I have seen, so can anyone confirm? I can easily do this on my Macbook if needed.
TIA for any suggestions or tips.
I am most interested in the reliability of the Cloud Saves.
