How does one back up Famicom disks? I've been so hesitant to buy the Disk System because I'm weary of the disk errors and problems with the disks themselves.

There was a Disk Hacker Disk made by Hacker International that was used to copy games.  I'm not sure on the details on how it works though, I am interested in this as well if anyone knows more about the Disk Hacker.

I think they had their own small machine aswell...

I take it you know nothing about this thing, JL?

To me it seems like a pirate of a pirate, haha.  Well, the Disk Hacker was a pirate, sorta, in the sense that it was unlicensed by Hacker International.  It's just a disk like this and I believe you hook up(solder together maybe?) two FDS's.  But the real Hacker International one has cover artwork.

Hi everyone.  I did fall off the face of the earth, I got a new gig that required me to focus big time but alas it is no excuse.  But if someone wants to restore a disk, I have a copier prg from bung that copies disk.  You need a modified FDS or an older FDS with a 3201 Disk controller.

Well, I finally got my setup to write FDS images to a famicom disk.  Now I don't have to worry about my legitimate disks losing data.  There are a couple of other users on this board who can do it as well.

The benefit of this is that I can play some of the cool FDS games like All Night Nippon Super Mario Brothers on my Sharp Twin Famicom versus playing them on an emulator.

As always, I will take pictures and show my setup on how I accomplished this.  I used a combination of FDSLoadr, CopyMaster, Game Doctor and my old Pentium Pro PC loaded with DOS. 

Stay tuned...
