That’s on-site way too often for my tastes. If your house burns down while your car is in the garage, there’s a good chance you’ll lose the backup too. Adding a computer in your office fixes that, but why not just send your backups to it over the internet instead of using this ad-box vehicular transport protocol?

Initial seeding of your offsite backup over the Internet would be a pain, but most people's valuable data change rate isn't high enough to significantly tax modern broadband connections. I sync a few gigs of data a week and I never even notice it happen.
