If you are not already off-line, make sure you have pulled your ethernet cable, unplugged your wifi adapter, or whatever steps disconnect you from LIVE (but leave your profile signed in).
To recover your save / load your backup: When/if you die, as I did once on the stupid ice-cliff stasis part, follow these steps: 1. Repeat steps 3-5 as needed when you feel you've passed a stressful section, or are coming up on a heavy 1-hit-kill area. This is so there is NO chance that a death on my main HDD save writes/copies over my Cloud backup save. Return to Dead Space 3, select HDD as my storage device as usual (see #1), load my Hardcore save, and once I'm in the game, I pull my ethernet plug to play offline (you could really do this directly after #4 also).
Go to System > Storage Devices > HDD, find my Hardcore save slot and copy to Cloud. Save and Quit, return to dashboard, plug in ethernet cable, and sign in to LIVE. Playthough Hardcore until the first save point after acquiring the Devil Horns from my bench's safe (was playing offline to this point). Main save ("Choose storage device.") is always my normal HDD. (The USB slots on my xbox no longer recognize thumb drives, so I went the way of the Cloud, but wanted to make sure my Cloud backup would never get overwritten/synced with my HDD save after dying) How I proceeded to use the Cloud as a backup save was as follows: 1. Having a dead space 2 save to unlock the "legends" suit which gives you an automatic 25 spaces instantly when you change into it is also a major help.
I would also add to complete Survival mode to get the mega resource deposit (one time), I was able to make my favorite gun in chapter 3 in my first work bench and upgrade my rig quite a bit. Enemies don't respawn when you go back as I understand it. Although keep in mind, when you return, you will return with however many health packs/ammo you had left when you save/quit'd as well as health, you may need to backtrack to a bench to restock, I had to do this in chapter 18 with the unitologist ambush from both sides of the railing, I was yellow bar and had no health packs, ended up going all the way back through the bench area and then restocking on health and coming back. The Item duplication glitch in chapter 8/9, and the save/quit option helped a lot in several areas, just as The S bot 9000 above said. I decided to do it legit, and I ended up getting it on my first attempt thanks to God, (yes I'm thankful).
