How to Backup & Preserve Your Favorite Games and Movies:
If you are tired of your favorite video games and movies being unplayable due to scratches and abuse from your kids (or you), then back them up and keep the master in a safe place.
My son has frequently had discs that were unplayable because either he or his gaming friend damaged the discs. I realize that now is an appropriate time for my children to learn to take care of their prized possessions, but it sure is nice to know that we always will have a pristine version of the game or movie available should the backup copy become unusable.
There are many programs on the market today which are capable of game backups, but make sure you carefully understand exactly what the product does. The first game copier that I purchased was not video backup software, but was simply digital manuals explaining how to accomplish a back up using other products.
Although I am technical I am not the least bit interested in the know how to perform the steps myself. I chose to buy a movie/game back up program that does all that for me.
What To Look For in Game Backup Software:
When researching backup software, here are a few questions you may want to consider before you buy:
1. Does the back up product consist of software with detailed instructions, or, is your product a series of step-by-step 'how to back up your games' manuals?
2. Will the back up product eliminate getting a disc error?
3. Will the back up product work for your particular console?
4. Can you burn video files from your PC to a DVD?
5. Can you download the software immediately, or, is it shipped out via snail mail?
6. Is the product compatible with your computer's operating system?
7. Do they offer a money back guarantee?
My recommendation:
Certainly, there are many backup solutions advertised on-line so make sure that you select the one that most closely meets your needs. For me, I chose the software available from BurnGamesToDVD.com firstly, because it was recommended by a friend who is very happy with the product and secondly, because we have purchased and downloaded quite a few movies that we wanted to burn to DVD.
With a good back up program you shouldn't have to worry about having to buy the same game or movie again.
