Burning backup games

Just recently, one of my favorite games got that circular scratch from being tipped over in the 360 during play. Luckily, a friend of mine backed it up to his computer before this happened. I plan to burn copy of the backup game and install it via the hot swap technique.

My question. What equipment do I need to do this? The biggest issue for me is that I don't know exactly what kind of DVD I need to use, nor do I know what the best burning hardware/software to use is. Could somebody please enlighten me, as well as give any additional information that may be helpful?

I always used verbatims and burned always with cloneCD.

disc= verbatim dl+r
software= imageburn or DVD Decrypter (use 2x speed only)

For me:
disc= Any DL + R (I use Maxell)
software= Imageburn
