Is there a way to do that in case they get scratched? Is it the same as any regular PS2 game? Or is this just a stupid question?

Unfortunally you can't backup this disc!
If ur swapmagic is broke...you will have 2 buy a whole new one!
The disc is burned in a special way....i don't know what kind of way..but what i do know is that it's impossible to backup the swapmagic disc. i've tried it several times..with no luck!

This question has been asked on this forum so many times before and the answer is always no!

The disc is made with errors burned purposefully onto the disc so that it can't be copied.

The question hasn't been asked in the first 7 or 8 pages that I checked, and searching for "swap magic backup" doesn't really work, so there's no need to be an ass, paddy. Somebody else already even answered it for you without being a prick.

What's with the name calling... all i said was that the question had been asked many times before. I still answered didn't I? If i'd wanted to be a prick as you said then i'd have had a much harsher answer to your question and said yes it was stupid!! but as you're a newbie I was cutting you some slack, rest assured that it won't happen again.

and by the way - if you'd entered " backup swap magic " into the search you'd have got this:-

Paddymail is right
people do ask this all the time and a simple
search would have found you the answer.
Yes you can copy it
yes it would be useless, because you would need
an original copy to load the back up copy
like any other back up.
We try to help the best we can so posts like yours
with all the profanity don't get you anywhere, except for
being banned. This is a nice community of very helpful
people, and i'm sure we all want to keep it that way.

Your question's been asked and answered so many times its ridiculous so let's try a forum search next time. Also, name calling is a great way to get banned so I suggest chilling out next time someone offers you advice.
