I believe you mean is it possible to copy the actual Swap Magic disk, and the answer is no. They are pressed disks released out of China with intentional bad sectors on the disk. All current DVD writers will attempt to auto correct these bad sectors (which the PS2 looks for during boot up). There is no way to do a direct 1 to 1 copy of that pressed disk with the bad sectors. You gotta spend the $30 to get your own. Or have a friend, like I did, who upgraded and gave me his leftovers.

How would you boot it even if you had a working backup of it anyways? If you could it would be pointless
