Can I legally copy one of my games for a backup? Is that even possible?

if you want to use the copy of a game as a backup for yourself there are plenty of ways to do it without special hardware (daemon tools ... http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/announcements.php ) (alcohol 120% ... http://www.alcohol-soft.com/ ) ect. you make a CD/DVD image with alcohol and mount it in daemon tools with emulation options turned on, maybe using a tool called YASU (also from the daemon tools site) to cercumvent some copy protections but if you are trying to play on 2 PCs multiplayer some games will be unable to connect as you have conflicting serial numbers
it is not illegal to copy games at all, as long as you do not intend to give them to your friends or use the copys to make money, hope this helps

Yes you can copy some games. If you have a game with a sticker that says it is copy protected then it most likely will only copy the install files to the disk and you wont be able to play off that disc. Yes it is legal to copy games. However it is illegal to copy that game and give or sell it to anyone else.

That is one of the great debates among the electronics industry. You have a right to make a copy of your video game to use as a backup. But the copy protection prevents you from doing so. And the wheel just keeps going around and around. It is possible to make a copy, but you have to know what you're doing. And I certainly don't.

It's possible to copy a game, but it can be worth going to jail.

your gadget will be too sluggish for the game. you would opt for to replace your gadget to the most "stepped ahead" technologies. If that still takes position, then get a clean workstation and also you should use your previous one for artwork and the hot one for video games. attempt to get a gaming workstation. those artwork better and performance better high quality for video games.
