Most of the 'bad idea' part is who is responsible if the content is
stolen.  As long as the content owner/company is OK with it being
where it is, move on with the technical issues.    Backuppc isn't
great at generating simple portable files.   If you want the whole
archive you pretty much have to do an image copy of the partition
holding it (with nothing changing).  That's not impossible,  but you
might do better with an external laptop-sized drive.
