You can NOT copy an original DC game, you can rip it yourself, but thats pretty hard. Basically you need to download the games, (the file extension will be something like .001, .002, .003, etc, use WinRAR to extract the .cdi, or .cue file, then use either Discjuggler to burn .cdi files, or cdrwin to burn .cue files. If you have a cdi file, open up Discjuggler, go to new, then "cd image to recorder", load up the image file, and hit start.
If you have a .cue file, open up cdrwin, go to "record disc", then go to "load cuesheet" and start burning. Keep in mind that some games require 80 minute cdr's. The programs will tell you how much space is being used, so you will know if you need an 80 min or not. Most of the newer games are self booting, but if a game is not, then you will need to download the boot disc image, burn it, and start up your backup with the
boot disc.

If you want to make a backup of a backup, use Disc Juggler 3, it works good.
