If you have Toast Titanium, you can copy the DVD quite easily. You may even be able to do it with the Finder burning if you have a Mac with a Superdrive but I have not tried that. It's always nice to have Toast Titanium anyway is it is more versatile than the Finder burning.
You are fully licensed to produce a backup copy of the original. That is good thinking on your part.
You could also make a disk image of the DVD and store it on a server, but that's for another day.
Hope this helps

Hi. My school district's gotten a new OS 10.4 license and so every computer is covered in the upgrade. However, a school only gets one copy, a DVD, and I'm afraid it'll get scratched sooner or later, prolly by a renegade drive. Is there any way I can copy the DVD without making it unusable by some copyright protection? I think we really shouldn't use the original copy cuz it'll be a pain to get it replaced.
