Very bad idea. Many of the worst privacy issues in the past several years
have resulted from theft of a laptop that contained confidential files. If
you encrypt the copy with a very strong passphrase, the idea might be
acceptable, but otherwise it would be a worse security risk than not having
offsite backup at all.
