It's about making a copy of the Windows 10 installation media (USB, CD...), they didn't say you can install twice for dual boot.
That makes more sense.
Just read the license agreement. You didn't read it. It is not about installation media.

2. Installation and Use Rights.
e. Backup copy. You may make a single copy of the software for backup purposes, and may also use that backup copy to transfer the software if it was acquired as stand-alone software, as described in Section 4 below.

Microsoft says "software", not installation. It could be different things.
 
You can have as many installation medias as you want. You don't need a license to have installation media.
Microsoft offers you to make it yourself on their web page.

Maybe the agreement has been there long ago before the online creation tool is used. And it will be applicable if you buy Windows 10 from Amazon, Best buy... that come in USB sticks or other form of physical medias.

It’s not a very good solution if it’s meant for backup. As mentioned above everything would have to be reinstalled and you would have to update the os. what a pain. Terrible backup plan
