Nope, they only decided it's illegal to make yourself able to do the backup except by developing the technology necessary to do so yourself.
It's perfectly legal to perform a backup, but not possible without first participating in something else illegal (buying or otherwise receiving distributed illegal goods) unless you have the know-how to design a way to do so or convert your existing technology to that purpose.
I remember hearing about that case before, always thought it was a bit backwards. I mean, understandable to some extent in the big picture, yet still hypocritical at the same time.
