Question about modding

[jman1993]

So, I've been going through the forums and reading about modding.  I found someone who modded Dolph Ziggler on this forum and I wanted to try it.  I had a few quick questions, I tried to find my answers before asking, so I apologize if it's been answered before.

 

Before modding, it says you should back up your files.  So, I know how to back up my files, and I plan on getting an Xbox 360 USB flash drive that Sandisk makes just to make sure everything backs up properly.

 

So, after backing it up, is there anything else I need to do before beginning the process of modding?

 

And let's say something got corrupted or went wrong, how would I go about retrieving the saved files from my flash drive and place them back onto my Xbox 360?

 

I have a regular Xbox 360, so does modding require you to hack the system or use any other additional software?

 

I appreciate your guys help!

Yeah you do need a jtag console to mod.
