ENOUGH ABOUT THE MESSAGE
Some of us want to argue pedantically, here. Sheesh.

For once, I'm in complete agreement with you. Folks, this episode is in no way about the backup thing, but has an important message at its heart.It's sad that despite this being a truly great episode of Trek with a strong message, folks get SO hung up over the EMH backup thing.
How many Mirror Universes do you think there are?
Just one?
For the Star Trek franchise, there's just one "Mirror Universe" and its been seen in episodes of TOS, DS9 & ENT.
But there are also multiple realities, as seen in TNG 'Parallels'.
When the Doctor closes his mouth, he doesn't have any teeth. When he opens his mouth, he does. Simply.So, no nipples either is what you really mean?
They only said that "We can't back you up" thing because they didn't want to marginalize his character.
It was supposed to be the future, not some random alternate.So the doctor setting history straight was the one that was in Endgame.
But the timeline's been messed with so much... is "Endgame" the timeline where Janeway 'always knew' Kes was gonna go senile and attack the ship in "Fury"? Or where she met incognito Seven in spacedock before Voyager even launched?
And that there was a back up module that could be picked up and moved around just makes everyone in the crew look like fuckin' morons.

The holo-emitters in that Museum were from 700 years in the future, for all we know their advanced holo-tech is partially what allowed the backup to work so well. In the present day of VOY their existing tech may not have supported whatever backups they made so they were useless.
There are infinite universes, one for every possible outcome of every event anywhere ever.How many Mirror Universes do you think there are?

Which raises the question: If there are 285,000 universes, multiple realities (which I would argue are just two different terms for the same thing), whatever you want to call them, and we say seven Federations in that episode, what's to say that there isn't more than one Terran Empire? Several thousand universes could exist where the Empire did not fall.
So the Kyrian incident occurred either in 2374, or early in 2375, or in 2377, or in 2378, or possibly as Smellincoffee suggested.Been awhile since I watched the episode, so I'm not sure if its covered in dialogue, but goin' by the screencaps at TrekCore, it doesn't take place durin' Tom Paris's time as an ensign (he has lieutenant pips on his collar in the Doctor's corrected version of history).
