Default Backing up copy protected 5.25" floppy games

I'm wanting to backup some old games that are on 5.25" floppy discs. Some of the games, have copy protection on the disc, eg King's Quest.
I'm debating whether or not to make an image, including the copy protection or to remove the protection when I do the copy.

Can Winimage backup these type of discs completely and if so can it recreate the protection? Or should I be using other software to duplicate it?
I vaguely recall using programs like COPY II PC over a decade ago when my friends and I were making copies of these discs.

My main goal is to image the 5.25" floppies and store the images on DVD or hard drive.

Any recommendations would be cool.
