Tau: I see, but why? Only through risk of fire/flood or PC being stolen
Yep and stuff like that...i'm just used to keep backups (in your case local ones) seperate from the times when i was administrator at an agency. All these things sound weird till they happen but then you look weird... ;O)
Depending on the temperature inside your computer it also could be better for the life of your hd, less temperature, dust...
