Unfortunately BD-9 full disc backups are more of a "pleasant extra feature" than an expectation on most players. The only things that should be expected to work on all players would be movie-only AVCHD on BD-5/9 (when the player says it supports AVCHD) and both movie-only and full backups to BD-25.

Virtually all Sony's (except the N460) will play BD-5/9 full backups as well. Others are hit-and-miss. I have a Sony BD-S360 and as of today I have only found two discs (out of several hundred) that won't work as a backup to BD-9 (both of those lose audio -- while the exact same image will burn/work on BD-25).
