If my German is hard to understand it's probably because I'm using a translation website! I don't speak a lick of German :P
StarForce is, to my knowledge, an absolute nightmare to back up, if at all. Here's an interesting article:

To the best of my knowledge, Starforce cd protection can't be backed up. Maybe with Alcohol 120% and RMPS or by emulation, meaning mount the image of the protected cd(s) and try and play with a virtual stealth drive such as Daemon Tools.

i read that i could be backed up but only when uninstalling all virtual drives and by burning on cd-rw's of some brands. weird.

Where did you get your source of information? Maybe one can backup Starforce to a "some brand name" cd-rw's and by un intalling all emulation software....

I cant really offer any advice on backing up starforce protected games. i know it can be done though, i have 3 working .bin files of doom 3. loaded in latest version of Alcohol and installed from images can't say if 1:1 is possible but with a no-cd crack it's playable (thats good enough for me;)

Which games currently on the market use starforce?

Daemon Tools mounts images not bins. You need to extract the image from the bins first.

Did you enable at least one virtual drive? If so then go to mount image>locate the image>mount>play :)

i enabled 4 drives.But they can´t be found in my computer.Anywayz,I tried alcohol and i enabled like 20 drives.I had them all after the reboot(to make them work properly) and i had a few with the ? sign.OK,but after mounting a image they all started to get one after another a ? sign and they became unusable.Now after i had to reboot once again there were no more virtual drives.What should i do to keep them forever?Alcohol works fine for me.Daemon tools is like the salt in the tea.

well you are lucky, ive had the same problem and i could solve it:
my win xp couldnt find the drivers for the virtual drives. it needs 2 files: cdrom.inf and cdrom.sys i think. there were located in C:/windows/servicepackfiles/i3866 or something similar, its some time ago :P
go to device manager and right click the notworking devices, then properities.
-> driver-> update driver and search manually for the two files. it worked for me, both alcohol and dtools drives.
good luck
