Hacking How do I make a backup of a backup?

[Wiiownzzz]

Is it even possible? If it is can someone tell me what program I can use because my friend has a backup of a few games I want to make one.

Oh wow I'm pretty dumb lol...didn't notice the "Make image file from disc" button...

Just press disc to image!

Just use any burning software that you find fancy and can copy a dvd. Backups just don't need any special software like original wii games to be read out.

some of my games don't work for that way though...

I was under understanding that though you are using a DVDr, that you would still need a specific drive to even read the disc?

I'm at work, so I can't obviously prove the previous statement one way or another...

I'd be curious to because I would like to clear up some hard drive space pretty soon here, so it would be nice to make backups of backups if necessary.

No you don't need a special drive to make a backup of a backup. Nor do you need some special software apart from your desired burning software. You can burn them on the fly. Did this with ca. 5 Backups some weeks ago. Worked like a charm. Used imgburn for it.

If you have Linux, you can run:

dd if=/dev/dvd of=[name].iso
