Is It Okay To Delete Is .iso And .bin Files?
« on: August 25, 2006, 07:44:00 PM »

Ok, here is the thing.  I am making tons of backups with the xtreme 3 way.  Is it okay to delete all the files besides the .000 file?  And then just burn the .000 file? All the extra files are taking up an extra 7.5 gigs per game.  

Here is what I mean.

Couldnt you just burn the files as they r onto a disc then when your bro screws up copy them back to your comp and do what u need to do?

No.  You cant make a backup from a backup.

Be easier to keep your brother off the 360. I f he has that much disrespect that he wrecks that many games.

iono.. sounds like a side-step in my opinion.

anybody who has a little brother "destroying" the same game week after week either needs electroshock therapy, or no access to the 360.

Yes I have re-read this and agree.
 this is just a side step for making multiple copies.
Closed don't find a cute way to ask this again.
A new back up of the same game every week is stretching it too far
