I am not a big fan of the current form of copyright, but it does mostly deal with redistributing and backups aren’t about redistributing.
When information is “copied by third parties or the public”, that’s rarely about backups, that’s predominantly about access and use.
Meaningful backup systems always involve multiple copies. What are the first laws of backups? ‘you will lose data’, and ‘you always have one less copy than you think’. Or as the archivists says, ‘lots of copies keeps stuff safe’.
Well, yes, Linus Torvald’s backup system turned out to work rather well for him :-)
