I know I can do a full backup and save everything from the PS3 (and have done this before).

I can also save individual game saves to a removable HDD with little issue.

Is there any way to backup all the game-saves in one go?

As to select each one separately seems rather redundant, and a lot of effort once a lot of them have been saved. You don't seem to have the option to copy the whole folder at once.

You can save game saves on flash or external HHD, go to game saves, into the individual game save - press triangle, and gives you option ot copy, if a flash or extrernal drive present save it in their. no you have to do the save one by one

That seems very poor.

Hopefully they'll add that ability in a later patch then.

I treated Uncharted and Oblivion like PC games and so have about 15+ saves for those each. Sitting and saving each one individually is just a lot of unnecessary hassle.

Yep this way of backing is a great time saver and a great backup (of course). Just make sure that you have already created a backup Folder for the appropriate save game files. What I do know is I either plug in a 4GB flash drive for one game and also have a large 500GB External Hardrive plugged in via USB for that extra extra backup.......Hey! I have learned my lesson.........I ALWAYS backup what I don't wnat to have to start all over doing again? LOL
