Well, as you copy the matching catalog as well it should just be fine.
It depends all on what you want to be your backup be for. In my case I
want to be save from loosing single/some backup media while the backup
server is still fine as I run redundant servers anyway. You obviously
plan for a complete backup system breakdown on the expense of a harder
time while restoring single lost media. On the other hand, if I
experience a complete backup server outage I have to bscan the offsite
tapes.
Benefits of both ways you get by e.g.
- copyjob for media offsite, if some medium fail, the copy job gets
  active if you delete it.
- sql-server replication offsite, alternatively dump&restore
- having all configuration files ready offsite. As I run
  'Linux-VServers' I would just rsync the backup-server itself.
