I know I do it, but does anyone know of the legal issues involved in backing
up your own software.
ie I've made my 'Essential Install Pack' for Windows '98. with all the
software I would install immediately if I need to reformat (Access, VB, IE5,
Outlook 98, etc.)

Is this legal?
I legally own a copy of all this software.
As far as I know, I didn't _buy_ the software, I bought the right to use it.
This would mean I could make as many backups as I like wouldn't it?
