When you copy a VC game from an SD card to your Wii, the Wii sends a request to Nintendo HQ asking if you've bought this game.

Have you any proof it works this way, or is it just guess work? Cause I'm pretty sure you don't need to be connected to restore backups from SD.

nah no proof, I haven't put the effort into testing it but it's a theory I have for a couple of reasons:

1) too easy to modify the game on the SD card to be accepted on the Wii
2) I read in the manual that you may be required to be connected to the internet in order to copy games off your SD card

of course, this is complete guesswork,based on the way most DRM protected stuff works, as well as what I've gathered from other sources. Of course, since Nintendo have complete control over the hardware and the software that runs on it, they might have some extra safeguards. But it would still be possible to 'trick' your Wii into thinking it's bought stuff from the official VC (remember it's just a website) by forwarding traffic, I would guess.

I'm not sure how much of your download history is stored on your Wii and how much is stored on their servers, though.
