Would a back-up even work? I haven't even tried, cos I thought all CDs these days have hardcore copyright protection business going on. I haven't been able to copy (ahem .. backup) a game in a long time, cos of the copy protection thing, so I assumed db was the same. Fact is, db is something I would like to make a genuine back-up copy of. Is it just a case of normal CD to CD copying?

Well, for some reason, I backed my cd up about 3 times already. NO, I know what you are thinking, I am NOT making copies for others. I do not condone software piracy. Anyway, I jest made so many copies because the backup always seems to get a hardcore scratch on it to prevent it from working. It does work, though.

DBP is easy to backup. But you need a good CD writer (eg: LiteON) only a few makes of CD writer can hack the protection (did I mention the fact that LiteONs are very cheap?) but once you have, CloneCD will work fine.

It doesn't mater what copy protection is on a cd you can copy all of them. All you need is a iso of the cd, I make a back up of all my cd and have not found any I can't back up.

It is legal to back up anything you own.

it is also illegal for software companies to use protection that prevents you from your legal backup copy.

Anyway, the registry thing works well, I've just forgotten the right registry key...

No - not true. The SafeDisc 2 protection can only be burned with some writers. SecuROM (the newest version) simply CANNOT be burned from an ISO because it uses specially developed media on the original disc (although there is the twin sector trick and RMPS emulation) and virtually nobody has succeeded in copying Star-Force.

Of course... I don't use the registry hack when there is a far more elegant solution.
