I was not asking for myself. I am comfy with the above tools. Just for the sake of completness of Backup Tutorial, because every protection can't be backed-up using Alcohol.

Buddy you are getting it wrong here Alcoholer is passing the
settings to Alcohol.

The Alcoholer Profile is used in Alcohol so id does backup up
every possible CD Protection which exists in Alcoholer.

Hope that answers ur doubt
