back-ups for cds

I have a question:  Are any libraries burning back-ups for circulating
CD-roms?  

Some licenses do permit one back-up copy, but the majority say "no
duplication".   If so, do you consider the "no duplicating" part of most of
the licenses to mean no to back-ups as well if you are still only
circulating one copy?  Do you always contact the provider to amend the
license in these cases?

If you don't burn back-ups, do you just circulate the cds without any
back-up copies?

Please respond directly to me and I will summarize for the list.  Thank you.
Carole
