What's the point of backing up anything?

Sure, it will be faster, because it will be a local operation, because you probably keep the original near the same place you keep the main rip. That also means that the original source and the in-use rip are vulnerable to being destroyed together in a site-affecting event (fire, flood, robbery, etc.), which makes having a remote backup valuable.
