AOE2 Backup

[{{Mustang}}]

I hope this is posted to the correct forum if not please excuse me.

I need to make a backup of Age of Empires 2 before my son ruins the current CD. What is the best way to accomplish this? I know that MS has some sort of Copy Protection on the disk and that I will need a third party utility to copy the CD, but I don't know where to find one.
Any help in this matter would be appericated.
Thanks in advance
