It depends if its orginal programs with protection or
its cracked copies.

If you want to backup orginals you`ll have to use a warper,
it reads the raw MFM data of the tracks and stores that.

Otherwise just download
http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/aminet/util/sys/Dev-Handler.lha
and install it, after you have mountet DEV: you can do a
simple copy dev:df0 dh0:MyGame.adf, it will now make a
sector image of the floppy that you can use with UAE
and it is easy to transfere it back to a disk.

Or get
http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/pub/aminet/disk/misc/adfblitzer.lha
it is the same, just it has a gui.
