problems copying a backup

[Dsquorpion]

i seem to be having problems copying a backups i created, i do a disk to disk copy with nero but they don't seem to play in standalone dvd players, so i was wondering should i create an image and just burn it to a disk and then just burn a copy from the burned image on a disk

You should, but only if you can't do 1:1 copies, which apparently you can't, but you should try a different brand of cd-r (or whatever media you are using) and visit this site to see if your dvd player is capable of playing the format that you are creating. 1:1 copies sometimes don't work because the cd-reader and cd-writer are located on the same IDE cable. If they are, you should't do cd-to-cd copy's.
