The backup key is useless in that scenario if you cannot export it to
another TPM, and isn't preventing such an export the whole point of the TPM
technology?
Of course, the primary private key cannot be extracted from the original
TPM. The easiest key recovery scheme would have two encrypted copies of
the media encryption keys, one encrypted with the TPM-secured key and
another encrypted with the backup/recovery key that you keep in a
separate 'enterprise' key backup system. Here's one paper describing TPM
key backup/recovery:
