親愛的各位網友：
近一、二週來，網路上關於「惡靈三」和「暗黑二」備份(backup)成功與失敗的消息愈來愈多，其中關於「惡靈三」失敗者很多，成功者多屬有特殊燒錄機器者。「暗黑二」的情況就較好。也有一些燒錄
界的前輩提出了他們的經驗與看法。筆者也再下了一些功夫與驗證，總算有了較完的輪廓，由於前面我們已談到Daemon和Clony,..等軟體，今天先介紹另一個備份「惡靈三」和「暗黑二」來玩的工具軟體
playbackup. 以下是原作者的話，他對於SafeDisc及SecuRom的保護有簡略的說明，對於playbackup對付他們的方法作了扼要但明白的解釋。筆者本想將它們扼要翻譯，並加註個人的些許淺見，但是因怕破壞原味，又加上身體微恙，先偷懶把它先擺上來。還好它的用詞倒無艱難之處。它的說詞，與筆者的驗證十分的吻合。雖然有人或許不是很喜歡它工作的方式，但是它的工作原理與Daemon有類似之處，也是目前除Daemon外，另一種有效對付 SafeDisc2及New SecuRom的工具(對擁有非特殊燒錄機的網友而言)。願對此有興趣的同好，稍加細讀（下面文字包含playbackup的安裝與使用,不要處已刪除）。稍後小弟再就個人的淺見向各位就教。(在燒錄新世界另有「解說safe disk 2」的原文及翻譯 ，可參考之)。

PlayBackup - makes your Backups play!
1. Disclaimer
2. Introduction to PlayBackup *******
CloneCD is the best 1:1 CD copy program around. However, SafeDisk2 protected CDs can only
be copied with certain CD-Writers. Copies of SecuROM protected CDs require special hardware
- a RAW-DAO burner and a Reader, which is able to read Subchannel Data from Data Tracks.
Not everybody has such hardware. Backups of SecuRom2 protected CDs will only run from CD-ROMs,
not a CD-Writer or a DVD-CD-Writer combo drive.
PlayBackup addresses all these problems.
3. Requirements
A Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 machine with CloneCD installed (registered version recommended) to read
the original disc and write the backup (The "Copy" machine). A Windows 95/98/ME machine to play the
backup (The "Target" machine, will NOT work on NT/2000)
4. Installation
The "PatchImage.exe" must be installed on the "Copy" machine (the machine, where CloneCD is installed).
There is no installation program to install PatchImage. Simply copy the file on your Desktop or anywhere you like.
The "PlayBackup" device driver must be installed on the "Target" machine (the machine, where the backup should be played).
To install the driver, start the "Install.exe" program and follow the instructions. After installing the driver,
the "Target" machine needs to be restarted.
"Copy" and "Target" machine can be the same, of course.
5. Deinstallation
To uninstall PatchImage from the "Copy" machine, simply delete the "PatchImage.exe" file.
To uninstall the PlayBackup driver from the "Target" machine, start the "Install.exe" program.
6. Usage ****
1.) Start CloneCD.
2.) Copy the original CD to an image file.
3.) Exit CloneCD.
4.) Start PatchImage. If your version of CloneCD is registered, PatchImage will know the name of
the Image File automatically. If you use the Demo version of CloneCD, you have to select the Image
File manually.
5.) Click the "Start" button in PatchImage. Your image will now be "patched".
6.) Exit PatchImage.
7.) Start CloneCD.
8.) Write the Image File to an empty CDR.
9.) If you want play the backup copy, make sure, that the PlayBackup driver is installed and enabled.
To enable the driver, click on the "Smiley" icon in your Taskbar. If PatchImage has altered your Image
file (watch the Status window!) the copy will not run, if the PlayBackup driver is not running.
7. Play Backup driver options ***
If you click on the "Smiley" in your TaskBar, you can enable or disable the driver, or modify its behaviour:
"Enable PlayBackup" - completely enables / disables the driver. Although the PlayBackup driver is extremely
system friendly, it might be wise to disable it, when you are finished playing "Backups".
"SafeDisk2" - must be on, if PatchImage has changed your image.
"SecuROM" - must be on, if you want to play SecuROM or SecuROM2 protected backups and your reader doesn't
allow reading of Subchannel Data, or if your writer only writes in SAO-RAW or SAW-RAW+SUB mode.
"Hide CD Writer" - must be on, if you want to play SecuROM2 protected backups from your CD-Writer, or
a DVD/CD-Writer combo drive
Usually, you can simply leave all patches enabled, when you play a game, and disable the driver completely when you
are done. The driver will not interfere when you play from the original CD.
If you remove the Tray Icon by selecting "Exit", the current settings will remain active.
8. How it works ******
It is important to know, that PlayBackup does NOT crack the application! It is not a "generic crack"!
NOT AT ALL! PlayBackup alters the "copy protection related" data delivered from the CD-ROM "on the fly".
SecuROM patch: ******
If the application tries to read subchannel data from the CD-ROM, the PlayBackup driver delivers altered data.
Result: The copy will be identified as an original.
Hide CD-Writer patch: ******
When the application checks, if the inserted media is a CD-R or CD-RW, the PlayBackup driver
will always deliver "This is a pressed, silver CD". Result: Backups will run from CD-Writers and combo drives.
SafeDisk2 patch: ******
This is the really cool one. As a lot of writers can't write special "SafeDisk2 Sectors",
PatchImage replaces these sectors with "literal descriptions" of the sector content. These replacement sectors can
be written by all writers.
When playing the backup, the PlayBackup driver converts these sectors to the original content.
Result: The backup will run.
9. Future **
I am sure, SafeDisk & SecuROM will come up with some counter measures against PlayBackup. This will probably
require an update of PlayBackup.
The PlayBackup driver doesn't work on Win NT and 2000. This is currently no big deal, as most copy protected
games won't run on NT and 2000 either. However, an updated version for Windows 2000 is the next thing to do.
