If you only want to copy complete discs to bak them up you should get hold
of Exact Audio Copy and use the "copy to image and create cue sheet" option.
This creates a WAV file for the complete disc and the cue sheet tells
whatever app you use to burn the image where to put the track markers. This
method allows you to copy albums where tracks run into each other (such as
live albums) withou breaking them up.

Indeed; however, its not the only to do this: most burning s/w can
take multiple WAV files and perform a disc-at-once burn w/o gaps
between tracks. Unfortunately, some of the more popular burning apps
default to track-at-once (TAO), and either need to this to be reset as
a user configuration or (even worse) reset every time a disc is
created :-(

You can burn from cue sheets in nero and the latest version of EAC has a
button for this too (haven't tried it yet).
You can get EAC from www.exactaudiocopy.de/

EAC's burning capability, for multiple WAV sources, works DAO by
defaullt, as does CDRWIN (www.goldenhawk.com).
