Can You Transfer Game Data Over the PlayStation Network?

Your PlayStation 3's backup utility enables you to store data to an external hard drive or to the console's internal hard drive. You can backup data, like game saves and multimedia files, to your hard disk. But if you only need to transfer your games' trophies and achievements, you can use the PlayStation Network to backup your accomplishments and sync them to another PlayStation 3 console.
