You've paid for the ebooks. It shouldn't matter whether you made the backups yourself, or relied on some kind third-party to do so.

Yes. Regardless of the legality, I would agree that morally you're in the right. You paid for the books already. (And yes, you should make good backups of DRM-free versions of the books. Which is where DiapDealer comes in...

Never count anything other than a DeDRMed file stored on a device/media that you can reach out and touch with your finger as a "backup." And make sure you have at least two such backups. |
Develop a workflow that removes the DRM, creates a backup and a primary storage point, and only THEN copy to your reading device.
For a really simple, very effective, and useful in other ways backup technology, I really like Windows Home Server. Yes, there are other, non-Windows solutions. And I'm fine with whatever you choose. But I've not found a better solution than WHS. And I've written a LOT of chapters on backups!
