How to Backup an Original Nintendo Game
Discs for Nintendo Wii games are expensive. Therefore, you should protect your investment in Wii games by creating backup discs. After you back up a Nintendo game disc, you then store the original and protect it from damage or loss. Backing up an original Nintendo Wii game disc is no different than copying a regular data CD. If you have a PC with a CD or DVD burner, you can create a usable disc copy of a Wii game in minutes.
