If you download with Adobe Digital Editions, you can copy the ebooks straight from ADE's download folder to any other folder. Doing so neither breaks, removes, nor adds DRM, but I would assume that DRM'd books would not be readable on another device.* However, as a pure plan to back up books for use on the same computer, that should work just fine. I do so myself.

* I have removed and reinstalled ADE on the same computer, as well as de/re-authorizing the same ID on that machine, and the protected books still worked just fine - but I haven't tried using those protected books on a different computer registered to the same ID, so I prefer to err on the side of paranoia.
