Going into the legal issues regarding game copying, there is no problem at all in copying games for back up purposes provided you own the disc (and still own it).

However copying games for other purposes like reselling it to others without prior permission from the company is illegal and will be dealt with accordingly. It’s recommended that the owner read the copying instructions given in the manual of the game.
