The Wii Backup Disc is by far the most well-known and "mainstream" of the Wii repair shop discs, having been discovered and dumped as far back as 2008 with its IOS (IOS16) frequently being used for hacking purposes after Nintendo released the 3.4 update, which patched the Trucha Bug in all IOSes except for 16. The Wii Backup Disc transfers personal data and VC/WiiWare game tickets between consoles via SD card, for use during a repair in which the system must be replaced.

This disc is already extensively documented elsewhere. In summary, it shows information about the console, allows for the Wii's FC to be changed, and transfers VC/WiiWare tickets and other data like saving games and settings off the console onto an SD card. It also has an option to "install dev certs", which installs a pair of dummy WADs which do nothing.
