What is the best way to back up 360 games?

[saladbar]

So now that I flashed my BenQ I was wondering what is the best way to back up my 360 games before my kids scratch them up?
- I have herd about a Samsung SH-D162c with a Kreon fw and Xbox Backup Creator, what do you guys think?
I see that the Samsung SH-D162c goes for around $60 shipped on eBay, is it worth getting it?
Thanks

yes that is right.it is by FAR the best way to make your backups.
get that drive while you can.they dont make them anymore.

Yeah, I concur. Get the drive while you can. The numbers have dwindled drastically in the last year or so. A lot of them come with the Kreon FW already on 'em.

Well I took your guys' advice and just bought this.

I did notice that is comes with the KREON V1.0 firmware. I guess that is the latest and greatest!
I will let you all know how it goes as soon as I get it!

yep looks good.that is the new firmware for the drive.
when you hook that drive up.there are some people that have a hard time if its set as a slave.I would say hook it up as a " master"
Crypie,jman and I,just put up a guide for backing up 360 games with xbc v2.6
have a look.

Quick question.
Will the games I back up with XBC v2.6 be stealth patched?

yep, thats the luxury of kreon drives and xbc! i love it!

XBCr is a great program. It's the program that I use myself. Some people has problems with it though and can use Schtroms 360 xtract. Both programs do inherently the same thing, but I like XBCr because I don't have to leave that program once ripping os done to burn it.
