OK I think I might be able to explain the backup making processes, using the alcohol 120% program and burning to CD-R I used Memorex CD-R discs:

Examples of known working file type games

1. Hidden and Dangerous BIN/CUE, boot with utopia v1.1 use alcohol 120% normal default settings
2. Test Drive Le mans NRG self booting use alcohol 120% normal default settings
   
3. Half Life Opposing force Homebrew MDS/MDF, burn MDS self booting use alcohol 120% normal default settings
   
4. and any CDI DC file use alcohol 120% normal default settings
   

in it's default settings it will auto detect the speed at witch to burn the image, burning between 4X and 86X speed , and auto detect between 1 or 2 image track sessions, to use

BIN/CUE, MDS/MDF, CDI, NRG

as for the GDI files I would only use those with an Emulation program, like Chancast or nullDC I use nullDC because you can set up a virtual VMU for saving games and continuing later, and has a GDI file booting capabilities, CDI, MDS, and NRG for PC gamers
