In my experience, budget at least 3 hours just to be safe. Grab some snacks and a good book!
Restoring a PS3 usually takes around 2-4 hours, but it can vary depending on how much data you have on your system.
Honestly, it might take only 2 hours if you don't have much data stored. Clear the clutter and speed up the process!
