How to Backup XBOX Games Through FTP Connection

April 19th, 2010

To backup XBOX games, you will need to build an FTP connection between your PC and your console. You should also have a DVD-ROM drive to where you can insert the disk. Without this, you will have no medium to read and write disks.

To build an FTP connection, make sure that the console is connected to the Ethernet port of your computer. In your XBOX dashboard, change the IP settings to 192.168.0.100. The subnet mask should also be changed to 255.255.255.0. Do the same for your PC by clicking on Network connections and, Internet Protocol, and 'Use Follow IP.'  Boot up the console and then launch the FTP client you are currently using. Once the connection is established, your computer will show different drives from which you may start copying. Remember to save the files as X-ISO files.

Once done, you may start burning the files into a disk. Once the burning is complete, you may start using it in your console. Sometimes, it is not this easy to backup XBOX games because you lack the tools. In scenarios like this, you have an option to download a free FTP client or software program.  Also, you need to remember to have a disk burning program in your PC to be able to backup XBOX games.

Lastly, the burned disks will not play in your XBOX if the console s not programmed to read copies of the game. You will need to have the XBOX modified or you will not be able to use the backup XBOX games. To do this, you will need to take your console to an electronics repair shop where they can change the console settings and mod chips. The risk here is you are going to void the warranty of your console. This is best done if the warranty of your console is already past its due date.
