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.

The '''Wii Backup Disc''' is a disc which was used by Nintendo authorized repair centres to transfer save data and Virtual Console/WiiWare tickets from one console to another, similar to the consumer-facing System Transfer function on later Nintendo consoles. It was used in cases where a system could still launch and run discs, but needed to be replaced; it would copy the relevant data onto an SD card, and the disc would then be inserted into a target system to receive the data.

 

It is by far the most well-known and "mainstream" of the Wii repair discs, having been scene released in 2008 and used for piracy and hacking purposes due to its signature [[IOS]] (IOS16) having been left unpatched after an update. Since this IOS was signed for retail systems, but was not patched due to it only being distributed on these internal repair discs, copies of it were installed on systems in order to allow access to the Trucha Bug which could then be used to install unofficial software such as custom IOSes.

 

In summary, the disc shows information about the console, allows for the Wii's friend code to be changed, and transfers VC/WiiWare tickets and other data like save games and settings off the console onto an SD card. It also has an option to "install dev certs", which installs a pair of dummy WADs which do nothing.

 

There are two known and released versions of the disc, version 1.3 and version 1.31. Version 1.31 has the title ID "410E", whereas 1.3 has the title ID "010E". No other versions of the disc are known, but earlier versions can be presumed to exist. As with the other repair centre discs, it is unknown if different versions of these discs exist for different regions, as the only available copies are USA region.
