As Backitup said, everything I told you is the same when you load up the "Protcd" configuration from CloneCD. The only thing diffrent from what I told you and Backitup was in the READ section, when you load the protcd profile, it also checks off:
#1 Fast Error Skip - If this box is checked, error correction of the CD reader will be disabled during read. CloneCD will use the "Power of your PC" to correct read errors. This option may speed up reading with some CD readers. You have to try, if your drive reads faster, if this option is checked.

#2 Intelligent Bad Sector Scan - If this box is checked, CloneCD will perform an intelligent bad sector scan. The bad sector scan boosts the read speed of certain titles, but may cause the copy not to work.

*both may help if you don't have a drive that supports Burn Proof. Also you should not have any trouble unless your original is pretty beat up. Then I'd suggest you make an image file if your drive does not have Burn Proof.

Use as you wish, and the above is a direct copy off of CloneCD's help menu. I've used these settings since I started using CloneCD a couple years ago for PC stuff, and have not burnt a coaster with them yet. Again, these are the settings that Elaborate Bytes uses for their ProtCD configuration. It's also good to see that we have experianced users whom can show us how to setup the software better then the programmers. In the end, both will work, and you can now make a better decision on how you wish to make your backups. Also, the documentation with the software is pretty basic, but it is still quite good. You'll find if you read it, you will understand whats going on, and should should things not go right. Then hopefully you will be able to figure it out. Which will add less stress to your life..
