I believe removing DRM in order to backup your data is considered fair use under DMCA.

If someone got their hands on my DRMed books, they would need to have the credit card number they were purchased under and the name, exactly as it printed on my credit card. If they got my encrypted ePubs, they probably would not be able to decrypt them that easily.
