  Hmm not sure, all game saves can be backed up on USB sticks etc, but they might be tied to the specific account name.

  That's what I was thinking! Also, I'm pretty sure you can only copy the whole folder of saves (rather than picking individual games).

  Wish you could do it like you are saying, but its individual saves you back up, unless you use the full backup utility.
  
  I've never actually tried clicking triangle on the game saves folder so maybe yuo can also do that. That would be neat if you could as its a pain doing them one by one.

  Simply highlight the save and select copy and you copy it to another user space.

  You can copy saves from one user account to another on the same hard drive no problem. You simply choose copy the save then choose the user you want it copied to.

  Resident Evil 5 saves can't be. As I discovered when I upgraded the hard drive and had to start again (I didn't bother in the end!).
