Could anyone tell me why it's possible to back up a blu ray movie, but when it comes to PS3 games it's not possible. A little background; I'm not quite sure how I got to this point but for some reason I wanted to get the media server aspect going on the PS3. After getting a router and everything wired, I spent days (many hours of reading posts) trying to get the server up and running. In the process of doing that I ran across a thread about streaming blu ray thru the server, which seemed pretty cool to me. I've got a couple PS3's, my daughter has one; it would be kind of neat being able to stream a movie to all 3 tv's. To do this I had to get a blu ray reader which led to why not back up the movies I have now. One thing led to another until I got to why not back up my games. What started out as one thing has led to something else, but I've learned a lot in the process which I find to be quite stimulating mindwise.
Anyway I'm having a hard time understanding why you can't back games up when you can back up the movies. What is preventing this from happening? Thanks to all ahead of time!

You can, though I'm not sure if we can put a link to an explanation on the forum or not.
