Ok, new at this - How do I get working backups of ps2 dvd games?

[Gmoff]

Basic rundown:

I just bought a ps2, and have an external mod chip and game shark on the way. I have a cd burner, and have access to a dvd burner. What do I need to do to backup dvd games, such as FFX? Assume I know nothing (not too far from the truth), and give me the whole run-down. What type of discs do I need, what software, what settings, etc.

Thanx much!!
