Yes – Unless the software has an “express direction” (e.g. a statement) given before (or at) the time it was acquired, you can make backups. You can make multiple backups, provided that they are solely for backup purposes and are made from the original. So a set of 7 daily backup tapes, for example, is allowed.

Very useful – thanks. We back-up to multiple off-site locations, including backups of (c) programs. From what you are saying, we would be covered too?
