Hi I'm new here and I want to know the easiest way to back-up my games. I already have a couple of games that are scratched up bad and i cant play them anymore.

I have a few questions:

I Dont have any mod-chips or swap-disks are these necessary?
What programs do i need to copy my games.
I have dvd-shrink and 1clickDVD, and nero will these work?

THanks in advance for your help

Yes, It nesscessary to use methods, ie. Modchips, Swap Magic etc.
Yes, Nero will work, but I reccomend DVD Decrypter as it has a much easier interface for newbies.

Modchips - http://www.modchip.com
Swap Magic - http://www.SwapMagic3.com

Sure Thing.

Open DVD Decrypter (Making sure your PS2 game is in the drive)
Click MODE>ISO>READ.
Choose a location if you do not wish to use the default for the image.
Click the button below.......

Now, after it has finished, if your PS2 game is over 3.3gb, you may have to do some re-building, http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/259416

If not, click MODE>ISO>WRITE

Choose either the MDS file, or the ISO. Choose a slow speed, eg. 1x. Then click the image below.

Make sure you are using High Quality media, eg. Verbatim, Tuiyo Yuden, TDK, Ritek etc.
