Nook for Windows has a chance to work for quite some time since they tied it to the Microsoft store.
However if you want your ebooks backed up it may be wise to seek other sources aside from BN. History has shown that they would prevent you from having any access to the ebook files if they could. There are still a fair few out there providing epub versions, Kobo, Google, Baen, etc. all of which allow you to download your purchases.

Despite BN's spin, NOOKStudy and Yuzu are unrelated and, in most cases, don't share the same content rights. Consequently (as I've reported previously in this forum), I lost access to numerous books when NOOKStudy stopped working on my computers, and BN/Yuzu Customer Service could not help me, for the above-mentioned reason. [I imagine, though, the books are not lost forever: if I were able to use NOOKStudy on another computer, then I could do what lkmiller noted, "disinfect" those books, and back them up.]
I 100% agree with your advice: "if you want your ebooks backed up it may be wise to seek other sources aside from BN. History has shown that they would prevent you from having any access to the ebook files if they could."
