I have never seen a ruling that said space/format shifting or backups for personal use were NOT fair use (and it has been ruled fair use before). The RIAA even says that ripping CDs is legal, and they don't admit that anything is legal unless they absolutely have to.

I assume we're talking about personal use, right?
