Download a program called DeepBurner (Free Version) The when installed and started up, go to CD Copy / Burn ISO Image. Choose were to save the ISO to, and then click Create ISO, or if you have 2 cd/dvd drivers, just put your game disc in, and a blank disk in your other drive, and click on copy CD :)
There maybe better software, but this is one of the free software i have used and its preety good :)
If you did back it up on the PC with an ISO, just use the same DeepBurner software to select and burn the ISO to Disc, or you could use a program like Daemon Tools to mount the ISO on a Virtual Disc drive.

Use some software like Nero, or CDBurnerXP (CDBurnerXP Pro - free burning solution | Home / News), and make a copy of the disc. If you do need to eventually use the backup, you can download a No CD/DVD Patch.

fist you need to find out which folder the game stores saved games, which changes from game to game in Simon the sorceror 3D the saved games are named <saved name>.sav, and if i remember correctly they are saved in
to backup a saved game just copy the .sav files, to restore your saved games, just put the .sav files into the folder where they were
Oh, and STS 3D also has a saves.ini, also in the above folder, just backup and restoe as above
Edit: do you want to backup the game disc of your saved games
Code:
C:\Program Files\Simon the sorceror\savesOh, and STS 3D also has a saves.ini, also in the above folder, just backup and restoe as above

Saved games for alot of games are actually Located in My Documents, some games like COD 2 are in the actual game installations, and for other games like F.E.A.R there in documents and settings\all users\Documents.
I should also of mentioned, that he could just crate a Data DVD and paste the whole contents of the installation directory onto DVD/CD including the saves, so when you have re installed windows ever or need to re isntall the game, just uninstall it, and paste the directory, some gamer require registry entries though and this wont work, from what i have seen, after a re install of windows, games that are still on the drive in a different partition work even withought been installed, the games that i have found work are, GTA SA, Dreamfall - The Longest Jounrey, Dark Messiah - Might & Magic, Star Treck - Legacy, Guild Wars, Oblivion, Need For Speed Carbon/Mw, Need For Speed Underground 1/2, Splinter Cell 2, Morrowind and litrally most games out there, but games like Unreal Tournament 2004 require registry entries.
