PS1 backups with my CD burner

[ploder]

It's been a long time since I've made backups of my PS1 games for use on my modded console and I'm pretty sure I used my CD burner to backup Suikoden II in the past. However, I can't remember which software I was using or which write method.

My CD burner supports burning at x1-x4 but can't burn with RAW DAO (only DAO, RAW SAO, RAW SAO+SUB and TAO) According to my research I shouldn't have been able to make successful backups without RAW DAO.

My questions are therefore:

1. Would it be technically possible to burn a backup PS1 game using my CD burner?
2. If so which write method should I be using?
3. Which software should I be using?
4. Will any of the above change if I am burning protected PS1 games?
5. Is there anything else I should watch out for burning my PS1 games with this burner?

Here is a system info report from Alcohol 120% on my CD burner:

We do not offer support for Modded systems that bypass measures put in place by a company to prevent piracy. Even though you want to backup your own games there is no way we can confirm that they are your games and not a game that has been downloaded we take the stance on caution.

Sorry for the inconvenience with this matter. But there are plenty of places out there that are more than willing to help. Unfortunately we are not one of them.
