I don't understand your conclusion. It is possible to get Lion bootable backup disk very easily. The bottleneck is only your internet speed (and maybe your reluctance to persevere). If you really wanted it, it would not be impossible to find a place with fast Internet connection (even at an Apple store) or even pay for an Apple dongle. I think this discussion reached its logical end. Anyway, hope you won't need that backup disk for a long while!
