Where does making copies of a DVD fall under thye DMCA? If I copy (to make a backup) a DVD bit for bit without unencrypting the DVD, did I violate the DMCA?

No you didn't. The only problem being that your typical backup with consumer-grade equipment is not a bit-for-bit one (remember that most movies are still larger than the capacity of recordable DVDs).
