this data will be somewhere in video_ts.ifo.
to solve the problem, someone needs to examine this file a) on an original DVd, b) on a
dvdfab rip
c) on a backup made as described
above & work out what changes.
use a tool like ifoedit or pcgedit.
this is a technical dvd structure issue & has nothing to do with the merits or demerits of clearplay technology.
I tend to agree with the original OP that a program like dvdfab which claims to make exact backups should be usable for his purposes, especially if he's paid for the program!
so even though I do not in any way support clearplay, I do support his quest for a workable backup procedure, especially as it now seems that rival products re able to do the job successfully.
I am not skilled at deciphering .ifo files though so hopefully someone else will now lend a hand.
