So a few months ago my 60 gig PlayStation 3 (with the all coveted PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility) decided that its blu-ray eye would stop working. I sent the unit for repair, etc. etc. which was a relatively pain free process (the cost not as much). Luckily they were able to repair my unit and send the same one back. Now, the Sony representatives on the phone told me that all I had to do was backup my hard drive using the Backup/Restore utility and all my data would be preserved. However, what the representative forgot to tell me was that the backup utility does not backup or restore any PS1 or PS2 save data.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm currently in the early stages of swapping out my 60GB drive for a 500GB one, and I've done a system backup but I was planning on also copying all the data across too, cheers for reminding me about this because I'd hate to have lost my FFXII saves!
