Sometimes it is extremely necessary for us to make a copy of a disk on which important, necessary and very valuable information is stored for us. Backing up such information is a wise decision. Each sane user has his own home archive, which stores "just in case" backups - music, videos, important documents, mail and the like files.
But sometimes we find out with chagrin that, unfortunately, the disc that we purchased on our hard-earned copies is not copied. The copy protection that some companies use for their disks does not allow us to protect our property in case of unforeseen situations. We risk, in which case, to remain as in a fairy tale - “with nothing”: no money, no disk, no copy that the protection on the disk did not allow us to make.
It is for such cases that knowledge on how to remove protection from the disk is useful to us. There are several ways to back up your home archive. We will now consider them.
