You cant backup Swap Magic you need to buy the disc.

The reason being is the hole point to get swap magic is it loads up the barcode that is pressed into swap magic and then lets you boot up your backup.

When you make a backup of your game it wont copy the barcode protection on the PS2 disc. Same with Swap Magic. If you make a copy of it it wont copy the barcode copyprotection on swap magic which defeats the purpose of swap magic.

If you could backup swap magic and have it load then you would bebale to boot up any PS2 disc and let it load. think about it.

You can not back it up for the same reason you can not play
back up games on your PS2 without modding it.
as he said, PS2 discs, including Swap Magic are pressed, and
there is an area on them than NO burner can copy.
and that would mean that without a modchip or an original
Swap Magic discs you could not load it.

so simple, yes you can burn it to another DVD
but you would still need either an original Swap Magic or
a mod chip to boot your back up copy making it pointless.
