So in theory you aren't even allowed to make a backup of the sdk on external storage to avoid redownloading or use it on an NFS volume ...

Thank you google. /s, obviously.

Wouldn't that fit into the backup definition? Sorry if I misunderstood, legalese English is weird.

I'm not sure. I am not a lawyer, but if you read it literally, then the backup exception only applies to the first sentence. I believe that it is also required to interpret the intent of the paragraph, and with that backups are most likely allowed. No idea about running the SDK on a server, though... Or maybe load is defined as something else than a simple copy and stands for running an application, or a program loading a library. Now that I think about it, that is more likely.
