As a side note, it's been years since I've done backups. Is handbrake still the standard?

[-] marius@feddit.org 6 points 3 weeks ago

I'd say it's makemkv. It'll give you a pretty big file though as it's not compressing the video bug giving you the original quality. You can run it through handbrake afterwards to reduce the size. Makemkv even does bruray and uhd bluray

Use both together. MakeMKV can be tied to Handbrake’s plugin system to decrypt and then encode a compressed file.

(Enable Handbrake collaboration through MakeMKV)

Oh nice, I like the option of no compression being there.
