A) Yes and no

Depends on what cd protection is on the backup m8. Example, I can mak a "backup" of a "backup" of Safedisc 2.9.x simply because I have the proper hardware (2 sheep burner\EFM encoding). SecuROM 4.8.x would be very tough as one "may" have to make a "play disc" so it will spin up in the roms. Some roms can bypass the Twinsector cd scheme of the SecuROM cd protection but some roms can't. If you find yourself in this position then it would be impossible to make a backup of a backup. Emulation "might" work, might not....
