It could very well be that one SafeDisc 2 protected game can be succesfully back-upped while another game with the same SafeDisc 2 protection cannot! This is because SafeDisc 2 can be 'adjusted' by developpers for each game. So not every SafeDisc 2 protection is the same. SafeDisc 2 relies on weak error sectors and it could very well be that Max Payne has more than Operation Flashpoint resulting in a coaster for Max Payne
