• Create a FAT32 partition on external drive (say 200GB, in general count 2.5GB / game ISO)
• Mount that partition
• Launch Wiithon
  • You might need to add yourself to disk group: sudo gpasswd -a $USER disk !!! BETTER remove yourself afterwards !!!
• Go to parameters, tools & utilities, select Format WBFS

Backup Games

• Games DVD can be backup on the Wii itself, using the USB Loader GX.
• Simply start the USB Loader GX, and insert the game DVD.
• Loader will detect the disc, and ask whether to install it (aka create a backup copy on the USB drive), or start it.

Maybe it is also possible to backup games DVD via PC (using wiithon or wbfs backup maanager, but no idea how)
