Well I'm not an expert but I'm sure that I read somewhere that Australia is about the only country where personal backups are indeed illegal. In the USA and Europe (the directive in Europe hasn't been implemented everywhere but that will come soon) the act of breaking a copy protection itself is prohibited (DMCA for USA), but personal backups are not really illegal.
