The thing is all backups weaken the laser assembly. It's very negligible, so really it wouldn't make a difference if you do it sparingly. As for making a backup for that game, it shouldn't screw with the sort order of the dump. the only thing i read up is the bitrate for the introduction cutscene is too high for it to make a difference in video codec quality. If it isn't trimmed down it wouldn't fit onto a 80 minute CD-R.
This post will give you a decent rip of the game without much compromise, but be aware that this is some shady stuff right here and I don't want to say this but this is considered piracy. Use with respect to the community.
