Offsite backup
An offsite backup is a copy of a file or document that is located in a location other than physical building that your PC is. It is typically a copy on removable media that is physically transported to a different geographical location, like a different office, safe deposit box, or a friends house. This increased level of safe guard is because if the building where your PC is burns down or is robbed you have another copy located in a different building. The chances of both locations burning down is unlikely. You may think this is off site backup is going too far, but if you have put years of work into something it can be well worth an off site backup.
