hello everyone i have psvita 1000 series and im planning to update my Vita to henkaku 3.65 but before that i never used psvimgtools and i want to ask about backuping my vitashell
I installed qcma and psvimgtools-frontend, first i backup vitashell with qcma and then i used for taking cmbackup file, so only i must seve that cmbackup file ?
And if i understand correct i can use it with different accounts, am i right ?
And it has no licence so i can send it to anyone ? I mean i read a lot about losing vitashell so that way can anyone send me vitashell backup ?
My second question is im using sd2vita plugin but it has 2 files, i mean one for Sony card and second for microsd card, but i couldnt find 2 files for 3.65 version, i only see gamesd for microsd card, so Sony card file is same for 3.65 ?

Backups are encrypted to your AID, which is mainly associated with an account but there are exceptions (DEX consoles, for instance)
You don't need psvimgtools to reinstall a backup, only to do some (limited) modifications to them
(One of those possible modifications is creating a MolecularShell "backup" directly on PC, so even if you lose all copies of Vitashell you can still reinstall it)


You can use the StorageMgr driver instead of gamesd/usbmc if you want more storage options, here's the storage_config for official as ux0 and sd2vita as uma0:
MCD=ux0
GCD=uma0

thanks for answer, i wrote about my backup way, so am i doing right ? first backing up with qcma and then using psvimgtools for making molecularshell.cmbackup file ?
right now i am using switch_sd app and it is so simple but i dont know will it work on 3.65 or not, StorageMgr is working with one click simple ?

    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
