It may seem redundant to say this again but it cannot be said enough, backup is everything. Backup assures an investment is safe. Backup Ps2 and play from the backup, not the original, and you have secured your money in a way you hadn't before.
Take a spin out on the Internet with one of your favorite search engines and you will soon see that gaming is HUGE business.

When gaming was in its infancy and sold on floppy disk the manufacturers themselves reminded and even encouraged gamer's to makes backup copies of their games in case of damage. They knew that you might not return and make future purchases if you were unhappy with the loss of your disks. That isn't necessarily so any more.
Ps2 Backup Process
Ps2 original games are generally sold on DVD these days. It is a cheaper media to work with as it hold up to 10 gigabytes of compressed data. What would take two CD's takes only one DVD. So although you can still find manufacturers that produce on CD the majority now print to DVD. This presents a problem in the backup process.
Backup to a DVD, whether it is from another DVD or a CD, is complex to say the least. The file structure of a DVD and the file structure of other media, including your hard drive, are different. In order to communicate during the copy process the process needs assistance in the form of software. Search for software that offers you a full range of help and fits the system you work with. Ps2 backup can be quite easy with this assistance.
You want quality backup of your Ps2 and you want to test the backup copy once the software has completed the transaction. Test the Ps2 backup to make sure it can be opened and is usable. Otherwise the process was an exercise for nothing.
