The Wii Backup Disc is by far the most well-known and "mainstream" of the Wii repair shop discs, having been discovered and dumped as far back as 2008 with its IOS (IOS16) frequently being used for hacking purposes after Nintendo released the 3.4 update, which patched the Trucha Bug in all IOSes except for 16. The Wii Backup Disc transfers personal data and VC/WiiWare game tickets between consoles via SD card, for use during a repair in which the system must be replaced.
