Hacking Moving items from Sony card to VitaSD

[Kerbangman]

Can you just move items from Appdata and App folders from the Sony card to VitaSD card.

Is there anything else that needs shifting or will it not work?

i didnt do any trial and error on that but when I set up my pstv usb and then transfer that to my psvita sd2vita, I had copy the whole thing to the card. So unless stated otherwise by someone else, you need to transfer everything in UX0:

My sd2vita adapter is on the way and I have a question in advance: Is it possible to copy all data from ux0 (vita-memcard) to uma0 (sd-card adapter) and then mount the sd card to ux0? Background: I would like to use a 256gb sd-card as ux0 with all my data and henkaku-settings, and my 64gb vita-memory-card (then uma0) as a security option.

Best thing to do is to open FTP and copy everything from ux0: to your PC.
If the Vita memcard corrupts or w/e, you atleast have a backup of everything.

It might be slow, but it's the safest way.

On my vitacard are more than 50gb of data. By ftp it takes much too long. My idea was, to transfer the data to sd-card with vitashell. The data should remain on the vitacard and be copied only to the larger sdcard. After that, the sdcard should be mounted to ux0.

It should work, can't give guarantees tho.

I once read of a backup via usb, which is done with the content-manager via qcma. However, I do not know if the entire vitacard is copied including henkaku.

I have made a backup like that as well but I never tested it as I never bothered with it really.
I just FTP'd everything over.

It should work as that what I did with the PSTV sony mem card to usb.

So with that you will need to use that second gamesd.skprx uma0 mount then transfer ux0 to uma0 then change the gamesd.skprx to the microsd ux0 one. It will rebuild it database from the microsd but it should be the same as it have everything copy

Transfer over ftp and transfer through ux0 --> uma0 is pretty much the same except on going over the network. Both will take quite long to transfer if you have it almost filled

So what about the qcma backup for a faster transfer? Does it also backup/restore the henkaku and homebrew things?

 

[Primula]

I dont think it will grab everything needed so it might not work... but I could be wrong on this.

I've found an issue that I haven't seen brought up, so maybe it's just me. The games I've downloaded from the PSN have all transferred and are playable. However their DLC didn't for some reason, and the games bar me from playing my saves without the DLC. Does anyone know what transferring issue might have happened here?

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured this one out. Just in case others are in the same boat, while the DLC did transfer, the license folder didn't for some reason. Once I copied it back over from uma0, everything was working again (plus I got my official themes back!)
