Alright, when I first had my Vita I put it on my account, but my husband now wants it on his account. We can only attach it to one account. That being said, if I format my Vita, will I lose my save data? For example, I own Persona 4 the golden. I own the physical game copy. Will that save data stay on the card or is it housed in the Vita and will I lose it? In counter I have a bunch of games loaded on it like Dissidia, and those will probably get wiped, right?
PSP games store the save files separately (pretty much like it happened with the PSP), so you can copy the save files with Content Manager and don't worry about losing them even if you delete the games. PSV games, on the other hand, are a different issue. Some games seem to store the saves in the cart, others go in the memcard (thus the "This game needs a memcard" requirement)~.
Your safest bet is to make an image of the memcard just in caase, sure go ahead and backup your save data but it's not 100% reliable (or at least, it wasn't for me) but also do the image as that will guarantee tha in the worst case scenario you can restore everything as it was~.
