You have to rip the games to the drive in .iso files using some tool. I'm guessing you are talking for use with a GC?

Is this even legal?
You don't own the games, why do you call them backups?

Buy them and rip them directly to the hard drive.

exactly my thought. if you're into this whole warez crap, why not keep it to yourself and just ask how to rip your games to a harddisk....
please search before you ask - a lot has been discussed already!
(or use google with "site:gc-forever.com *term*")

There is a number of ways one is to use a USB loader and rip the disc directly from the wii. This is the most ideal and simple way. I for one found it easiest. but to get you set up with a ?USB loader and ready to play from your HDD check out modmii for windows.
