Hello, I have some questions about backing up my old software/games.

First are the floppy's. I know that some 80's floppy's had DRM but the one's I have should all be from the 90's with no DRM. Mix of OS's, software and games. To back these up, can I simply copy the files to a folder or do I need to make some kind of image? I can post a list if needed (I don't have too many).

Then there are my 90's game CD's. For software, I believe it would mostly be just making a ISO file of the CD but most of the game CD's from this time have audio tracks with the data. Apparently ISO's are not able to copy audio tracks. Is there a image format I can use that would copy data and audio?

After this era, game CD & DVD's had more DRM. Are ISO's ok to use for these or is there another type of image I should use?

Thanks & Regards!
