go check your copyright act their isn't one country in the world that explictly limits the number of backup you are allowed to make. No limit is the closest thing to unlimited you are going to get.

Since you believe that it is 100% legal to make redundant backup copies of dvd movies, then do it in France.

The right to make personal copies can be restricted by copyright holders when duplication "could cause an unjustified damage to the legitimate interests of authors," today's judgment said.
Here is another idea. Buy microsoft vista in the USA and make several backup copies, and tell Microsoft about it. Make some loud noise like the pirate bay guys and maybe you will find out in court if fair-use allows you to make unlimited backup copies.
Microsoft license agreement states that vista buyers only have a right to make one back up copy. But don't worry about it. I am 100% sure you will win in court because fair use allows you to make as many backups as you want, even if you don't really need 500 backups, right?
