How do you make backups on Mac?
 

I know how to make straight backups with toast. But how do I make disc images from the originals? Can you just save it as a .toast file? And is there a simple way on Macs to make a DVD original to a CD image. I'm sorry if I sound like an annoying newbie.

Look in the backup procedures sticky and go about 2/3rds down the page to elkayps2's post on mac burning.
