Computers themselves tend to be made up of many patented components; it is the operating system and software that is protected by copyright.

When you buy software, what you're really paying for is a license to install and run it, generally on a single machine. It's also possible to get bulk licenses for multiple machines, such as at a business or school, and most licenses (embodied in the End User Licensing Agreements) do specify that it is legal to make a backup copy as well.
