Download this & read it at an early opportunity.

if i want to backup a safedisk 2 game, can i use clonecd with amplify weak sectors on only?
Yes, but use Fast Error Skip for the read - lots of errors up to sector 10K

or do i need betablocker/cd-mate? and what is betablocker/cd-mate.
Betablockers were designed for the Plex but the image still has to be dumped first by your fav dumping proggy such as CCD. Patching is another process done after reading but before burning. Go to gamecopyworld.com for more info. CDMate is a competing product, in its infancy, it's slower & klunkier, but give it a go.

p.s. with AvP2 i think it is Securom *new*. What settings should i use in CloneCD
I recommend a Liteon LTD-163 DVD-ROM or a Toshiba SD-M1402/1502 DVD-ROM as a reader. The settings are here, remember to add AWS for a SD2 burn. Your SecuROM backups may fail due to no sub reading ability on your Plex; it's hit & miss with your model.

Some primers & good info:
