XBoxBurner is a program with GUI that allows users to make copy of their original XBox 360 games. This excellent software will help you avoid losing your original purchased games when they get scratched as well as saving money on re-buying already purchased games.
This software is created for personal use and not for piracy purposes. Use it only to copy your original games to use for yourself not to distribute them online, which is illegal. Since there is no PPA for XBoxBurner currently, we will help you install it from our custom PPA. You can find the home page of the software here.

Awesome article! This only allows to burn the image though, as far as I know. But there are ways of going around this. The easiest way would be to just buy a piece of software that would do the backup for you. While it's against the whole free and open-source idea, it does the job that needs doing. I personally use GameBackupSystem for my backups, I can confirm it's compatible with Linux :)
