whas your backup made from 4.2.2? if so then you wont be able to restore it on 4.3 since it states when you update/install 4.3 that older backups made in backup/restore app will no longer be able to be restored.

backup/restore is not the only solution for making backups. There is also PCC.

Does the same limitation apply to backups made using PCC?

If yes I wonder very well because Sony generally recommends to make backup before every update/upgrade of firmware.

These two facts are in conflict!!

What if firmware update or upgrade fails? No way to get recovered to the state prior start of fw update / upgrade?
