This tutorial will teach you how to backup your PlayStation 4 game data to PlayStation's online backup service. Use of this method will require a current subscription to PlayStation Plus.
Note: If you do not have a subscription to PlayStation Plus, you do have the option of backing up your game data to a USB key.
How To Backup PS4 Game Data Online
As previously mentioned, the use of PlayStation's online service requires a current membership to PlayStation Plus. The price of these memberships range from $9.99 for 1 month, to $17.99 for 3 months, up to $49.99 for 1 year. Subscriptions to these memberships can only be activated from a primary console.
To activate a PS4 as your primary console, sign in to the PlayStation Network, go to Account Management > Activate as Your Primary PS4, and click on Activate.
