Well, for me, and this is speaking completely hypothetically here, I would treat it analogous to a physical copy. if I owned a copy of the Koran, then that's what I would have, one legitimate copy of the book. Backing up the book wouldn't really matter in my way of thinking because it wouldn't create another legitimate and therefor sacred copy of the text.
