Usually the backup case is an exception in the laws. And it can be defined so that your backup case is not distribution. If you give a copy to somebody without the intent for it to be a backup to be kept I think it is ditribution. On the other hand you can give copies to friends and they can use these copies without any problem (in most countries).
