You have to use DVD-R's (or DVD+R's) to backup DVD based games. If you don't have a DVD burner I strongly suggest you just go out and get one. Although DVD based games can be ripped down to fit on CD-R's, it's extremely difficult and you end up missing out on much of the game content. Once you have a DVD burner, backing up a game is pretty simple as doing a 1 to 1 copy of the original disc to the appropriate blank media.

No. It simply is not possible to fit the maximum 4.37GB of data contained on a 650MB CD-R in it's entirety.
