but i did find this quote on a few sites and although it doesn't talk about software i would assume it's similar...but then again US laws can be very confusing...if i'm able to find anything else i'll post it here...
on a side note if anyone can prove me wrong please do so and provide evidence to support it...

Well, afaik circumventing dvd copyright protection *is* against the DCMA.
As far as backups. Well, read the EULA for your software. If it says you can make backups you can.
I remember back in the days of software on floppies. The manual would usually suggest that you imeadiatly make copies of the software and used the copies you made instead of you orginals.
You no longer buy software. You buy licenses that allow you to use their sofware. You are bound to the conditions of the license.
