As far as i know no, the disks use bad sectors which a lot of writers have trouble reading.

if you are asking if you can back up swap magic
the answer is both yes and no
Yes you can back them up
But they would be a back up like any other
and you would need an original copy of swap magic
to boot them.
Game discs are pressed and there is an area on them called
the burst cutting area (BCA) that a dvd burner just can not
copy. That is why you need boot discs

I've seen this question asked alot..it would seem that it's a paradox..I guess if either

1. You were using an older swap magic real disc to boot the copy of a newer one.

OR

2. If for some reason your mod chip dind't play imports in the right video mode.

I tried to copy Breaker Pro once just too see...I used Clone CD and it read fine until it got to like 75%....then almost 3 hours later it was only up to 79%..(bad sectors?) but I did keep the copy and booted it with Game Shark Lite...it worked...somehow
