dude that tutorial says it will backup the whole game i just want the exe file

Read the tutorial properly it doesnt say it will backup the whole game! It tells you how to create the mini image! For your convenience I have highlited in red the parts you obviously didnt read!

Ok, basically SafeDisc checks the start of a disc for "bad sectors". If they are there then the game is thought to be authentic and the game will start. When you read a full image you are reading the "bad sectors" at the start as well as all the other data. The problem is that all the install data etc that takes up over 99% of the space, this data is not needed to start the game, only to install it. It isn’t convenient for most people to have loads of 700mb images on there hard drive just so they can play a game without the disc in the drive.

What a mini-image does is keep only the data at the start that is used too authenticate the original disc. This is made up of the "bad sectors and the "table or contents", the "table of contents" is just a list of all the files on the disc and how big they are, (this is why they still show up as the correct size on a mini-image even when they are empty) The mini image discards all the other data :
A mini-image is normally 1-5mb, which is a much more practical size.
