Hard drive upgrade and Assassin's Creed II save game

[boxterduke]

Hey guys, I want to upgrade my 80GB hard drive to a 320GB but have a concern about the save game of Assassin's Creed II.

The Assassin's Creed II game save is copy protected so you can't just copy it to a USB key. The other option is doing a full system backup however I'm not sure if that will still copy it or not.

I looked up on the net and no real answer. Some people say doing a full system backup will copy the game save as long as it is the same PS3 and some people say it won't copy. Checking the guide about the system backup at playstaion.com says that it won't copy saves that are flagged copy protected.

So I wanted to ask and see if someone actually upgraded their hard drive on the same PS3 and the system backup utility was able to restore the game saves to the new hard drive.
