Question: How do you rip a dvd to your computer to back it up? 

Answer: My suggestion would be to download dvd shrink. Go to dvdshrink.org and follow a link to download the software. Its easy to use and it copies the movies to your harddrive for back up. If you want the file off your computer you can simply burn the files to a dvd.
