Backing up your Xbox 360 games can be a big struggle, if you don't use a little-known technique to make your copied games playable on your console, without a mod chip.

However, if you want to play your games without them getting damaged, here's a way to play copied Xbox 360 games without a mod chip:
The problem with Xbox 360 games is that since the console is so popular, Microsoft were losing millions in game sales because people were just copying their games. This lead Microsoft to add a lot of different copy-protection measures to their discs, making it extremely difficult to copy and play these games without voiding the warranty and getting a mod-chip. However, there is a way to do it.
Microsoft protect their games with something called "Security sectors". These are parts of the DVD which store all sorts of information about the game and - more importantly - are present to tell your Xbox that the game is legitimate and legal. These "sectors" are invisible to most game copying tools, which means that if you copy an Xbox360 game the "wrong" way, your Xbox will not be able to recognize the security sectors on your copied CD, and will refuse to play the game.

However, you can make legitimate backups and play them on your current Xbox360 console without the need to void your warranty and get a mod chip. You just need to be able to copy your games perfectly - using software or techniques which allow you to copy the copyright protection sectors on the DVD... and these tools are so rare that they are seen as the "holy grail" of the backup & copying communities.
