Does anyone know how to backup your discs?
 

Just a quick question for any of you tech folks. It took me a few years to finally get my hands on a copy of the EverQuest Titanium discs. I got the game loaded and modded just a week ago and am now happily playing on Project 1999.

I know you're legally allowed to make an archival backup of any software you own and I want to do that just in case something should happen to the original discs. My question is how do you do that? What software do you use? I'm sure any retail software is copy protected so how do you back them up, does anyone know? Thanks much in advance! :confused:

You need to create an iso of each disk. Mac can do this natively, windows does not have this function unfortunately so you'd need to use third party software

I used to use Alcohol 120% to mount images to install titanium but not sure if it does backups of the CDs itself.

These iso files are available if you know where to look.

I believe Daemon tools can be used to create disc image .iso files. What you could also do is just copy your entire EQ directory to a USB stick / external hard drive

can somebody please link the thread w/ all the pics that show instructions on how to find the Titanium client? been a while since I saw it

Someone already made a back up of your discs and stored it online for you ready to download.

I'm pretty sure modern windows can make ISO files from disks.

This. If you have the discs, you can download copies legally for use in the event of failure.

So you need something like Daemon Tools? I think I remember reading that you can with that software. Thanks Phenyo.

Okay, thanks Swish. I'll keep looking.
