I decided that I should really make a back up of my OS X Panther CDs, and Tiger DVD. Do these CDs have protection? What do I need to do to get them to be bootable? How would I go about backing them up?

I havn't tried it yet, but I believe those aren't bootable when you do that

To the best of my knowledge, they aren't. I tried to make an OS 9 back-up last year using this method, and I was unable to boot from my back-up.
