How to backup your Xbox360 games PDF Print E-mail
Written by Modz Man   
Wednesday, 07 July 2004

Backing up Xbox 360 games requires a special Samsung DVDROM and a DVD Dual Layer DVD Burner, along with some free-ware programs which we link to in this tutorial. Not all dual layer DVD burners are compatible with XBC, but if it is relatively new (<=~2007 onwards) with updated firmware then it should work fine.


This tutorial will help you do your X360 and Xbox1 backup using Xbox Backup Creator v2.9 (build:0306) This new version of XBCreator will also burn you X360 Backup using the XBCr burning engine or with imgburn v2.3 by running Imgburn for you when it starts to burn to the disc.

Windows 7 users need an additional file, DOWNLOAD the MSCOMCTL.OCX file from HERE and put it in your C:\WINDOWS\System32 folder.

APPLE Mac users can use this program instead iBurn 360

RIPPING
1/ Open Xbox Backup Creator

2/ Select your ripping drive ie. Samsung SH-D162C/D, SH-D163B etc.
3/ Place your game in the drive, (It will show BYTES USED 5.32Mb)
4/ Select the DRIVE TOOLS tab and click UNLOCK DRIVE (BYTES USED will change to 6.81GB)
5/ Click the READ tab and ensure COMPLETE BACKUP is selected
6/ Press START, select the folder to save to and enter the game name. The read process will begin.
7/ When completed, you will get a 7,651,848KB .ISO (or 7.05GB) file and a 1KB .DVD file for x360 games. The .iso for Xbox1 will be 7,258,816KB (or 6.92GB).


8/ ALL DONE, TIME TO BURN.


BURNING METHOD A: WITH XBCr **

VERIFYING A BURN
You can validate that the burn was done with the appropriate layerbreak, booktype and that the image burnt corresponds to the image file on HD. The method is presented in the thread How to verify a burn . Note that this is not required and simply a validation.

Also note Media Stealth: What is needed and How To Verify, (DMI, PFI, Video Partition, Samsung SS) for more information on now required stealth components


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMGBURN INSTALL
You can download Imgburn at imgburn v2.3 , and use the installer.
  • When used through XBCr do not set the layerbreak to manual, XBCr will manage this for you. In Tools/Settings/Write/Options Layerbreak should be “Calculate Optimal”.
  • With the latest firmware (Hitachi v2.3 and Samsung 3.1+) the booktype setting at DVD-ROM is not required, but it does not hurt. You can set it in Tools/Drive/Change Book Type/'Your burner Brand' select 'change For:' to a 'DVD +R DL MEDIA' and in 'New Setting' choose DVD-ROM + hit Change.
  • Some LG and Samsung burner do not have permanent bitsetting (stored in the Burner memory) like for most burner. They require the software to do it before each burn, this can be selected in Tools/Settings/Write/check Auto ‘Change Book Type’.
XBOX BACKUP CREATOR INSTALL
You can get XBCr from the link at the top of the thread and extract it in a directory, nothing more to do. Simply run “Xbox Backup Creator.exe”.
  • Imgburn (and Nero) if they are already installed on your PC will show in the scroll window when XBCr starts (1). If imgburn is not listed in the windows, you can open the selection window by using the “…” button (2) and indicating the location of the “ImgBurn.exe” file (3).

  • If you have problems loading XBCr make sure you have .NET installed (windows updater), and VB6 runtimes + mscomctl.ocx which are included in the installer as “Xbox Backup Creator v2.4.exe”. Only do this step if you have problems.
  • Vista: Plse use the included installer. Some people had to turn on User Account Control (UAC) and make sure it was run as admin.
  • Not seeing your TS-H943A: Turn off the "FW Branding Check" on the options tab unless you need it (A hitachi branded as samsung or opposite). For those using a VIA6421 card, you should try using the version 5.2 of the Via drivers (here)
