| Well to put it simple your stats are stored on your PS3.
It's pointless backing them up onto an external device, such as a memory card etc. Because when you put it back on your PS3 the data will say it's not yours and will delete itself or won't load. I guess this prevents people from copying data..
So my advice to you all is, exit R2 very carefully and slowly. MAKE SURE that HD thing ISN'T glowing.
or else your profile goes bye bye 
****EDIT****
I've be on the offical R2 forums and well, here is what happens..
Your profile rank (Thats campaign+Coopertive+Competive)
And your Kills/Deaths stay the same because they are stored on a server.
YET your save file holds all of your unlockables, like skins and weapons/beserks so if that HD(Autosave) thing is flashing and you plug your PS3 out of the socket OR you turn it off during the process, you will lose all of that INCLUDING the Campaign data BUT you keep the trophies.
Yeah dangerous.. however YOU CAN back it up on an external device, such as a flash drive or stick or w/e. Buut it will ONLY work for one account, like I have DragonRayZ and Aphrah, so my data will only work for Aphrah. So that makes copying data for people impossible. If you decide to try it. Take my word for it.. don't do it, unless you want your ps3 to format it's self(Delete everything).
If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.

Sounds crappy. Also sounds vulnerable to hacking if the data is stored locally. | |

| Yeah the first thought that came into mind was that you could geta save file, load it and haev SUPER stats, however, me being STUPID, created 2 save files, 1 became corrupted other didn't. So I basically lost ALL of my levels but not my stats :O
it's kinda funny and reminds me of Hawk..
+ People are like OMFGWTFBBQ?! when the lowest level tops the leaderboards in a pro game xD
I still have all of ma trophies though D:
