got a couple questions about burning ps2 games

1.) I dont have the exact game...but i can get it online from this program i have...so would this affect any burning i can do with it?

2.) Wat would i burn the game onto? A CD or DVD and wat kind of it?

3.) Wat do u mean by backing the game up?

4.) How exactly would i burn it?

AND ASK YOUR QUESTION ONLY ONCE
1)-Backup games you legally own.
(ALSO You will need you original disc ID to play backups online.)
Use of a comprimised game ID will get you Banned by SCEA.
(Its not a PER game ban either its by your Playstation Serial.)
2)-Depends Blue bottom discs are cd Silver bottom are dvd's
(Most games are dvd format)
3)Coping the game onto a dvd-r so you can have A BACKUP copy of your original.
(YOU MUST HAVE A MODCHIP INSTALLED OR SWAPMAGIC DISKS TO PLAY BACKUPS.)
4)-CD games use alcohol 120%
dvd games use DVD decrypter.

Here is the tutorial for backing up games.

here is the website to get boot discs (swap magic)
(You will also need a 'tool' to open up the ps2 cd-tray for the
backup discs to work.)

I used a flip-top (Kit) on my version 7 ps2 with swap magic disks.
